How Can severe Pain In The Chest And Throat Be Treated?
what causes a sensation that starts in the jaw area and spreads down my throat with a squeezing sensation ,into my chest...causing pain in my teeth and sometimes my ears. I never know when I ll get this sensation... Could be every couple months or weeks apart. I do have Barretts. When I get these sensations I am out of commission until they subside feeling sick and an agonizing pain. Ive had this for many years.
