What Could Pain In Chest And Upper Back While Swollowing,indicate?
I have had a sinus infection for the last few days. I now have tightness in my chest, which I assume is congestion...but what is puzzling me is that every time I swallow, I have pain in my chest (sternum area) and the upper part of my back. The pain is concentrated in the one spot and only relieves once whatever I have swallowed has passed that point. Is this just from the congestion or could I maybe have something more severe?

After going through your queries i suggest you to dont panic.
As you get sinusitis this common to get congestion and pain in chest area during coughing and swallowing .
I suggest you following:
Take steam through nose and let it out from your mouth this will help you from congestion.
Azithromycin 500 Empty stomach once a day for three day .
Cetrizine Bed time for 5 days.
Solvin three times a day for 5 day.
Hope this help you Lot.
