Suggest Remedy For Chest Pain And Throat Congestion After Eating
Lately when eating, it feels as though the food is still in my throat. As of yesterday afternoon, I have been experiencing difficulty taking deep breaths to breath, as it hurts my back and chest, especially in my right shoulder blade. Aleve has helped a little, but after it wears off, the pain is back in full force.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of chest pain and throat congestion after eating. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like excessive acid production, sore throat ( viral or bacterial ) , post nasal drip , sinusitis , granular pharyngitis and acid reflux. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid eating spicy and heavy food , reduce intake of dairy products and avoid smoking. Do warm saline gargles several times a day and keep your head elevated while sleeping. Consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order test like swab test , viral culture test , CT scan and physical examination with laryngoscope. Doctor may prescribe antibacterial or antiviral depending upon the diagnosis along with decongestants , diphenhydramine and expectorants .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
