Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
The commonest causes of feeling something in throat, feeling something or heaviness in chest and heaviness in head on bending are:
Globus is a psychological condition wherein one feels something in throat.
Chest pain can be due to costochondritis or myalgis, but it is always better to get this checked by EKG and X-ray of chest.
Headache on bending can be due to sinusitis or hypertension.
All these in turn can be due to stress and anxiety.
Hence get a clinical evaluation by your Doctor, examination and investigations to prove clinical diagnosis or rule out.
May need medications for the psychological problems and symptomatic treatment too.
