Pain And Tightness In Chest And Throat. Difficulty In Swallowing. Taking Synthroid And Birth Control Pills. On Antihistamines For Hives
I am a 30 year old female. I have had a feeling of tightening of the throat which lasts a couple of hours. It is difficult to swallow and sometimes feels like the pain goes until the chest. The tighetining is not constant - the pain increases and subsides and again comes back in a minute or lesser. I am taking synthroid (for thyroid) and birth control pills at the moment. And also an antihitamine - because i have had a case of hives since July. Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
Difficulty in swallowing with tightening of the throat and feeling pain suggests the need for further evaluation.You require USG neck, chest X ray PA view and may require bronchoscopy. So continue the same treatment for now and get evaluated, this will help in further management.
