How To Treat Pressure In Chest Caused Due To Choking After Eating?

Last night I choked on lasagna. Coughed for several minutes and continued to bring small pieces op for an hour or so after. Late today it feels like I am starting to get a chest cold feeling, just not sick. Even when I bend over I feels like pressure on my chest.

Hello,

Welcome and thanks for your query.
You had aspirated some lasagna into your respiratory tract. You would have coughed out most of it. However if you are having symptoms still, part of the aspirate may still be present.
It is better for you to visit ER and have it removed. If not it can lead to serious problems.
