What Causes Upper Chest And Lower Throat Pain While Taking Breathes?
Hi, I thought I was having a heart attack last night. Pain in upper chest and lower throat, it has eased this morning but painful if I breathe in or lean over, I have a headache as well, I have been constipated past 2 weeks but no other symptoms. It s very painful and feels like somethings stuck in my lower throat.I can drink and swallow too.

Hi. I can understand your concern.
Ideally ecg and 2d echo should be done first in your case. If both are normal than no need to worry for heart diseases. If the chest pain is disturbing your routine activity then get a chest x ray done to rule out any lung infection or it could be just a muscle pull. Do not lift heavy weights
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
