Thank you for choosing HCM

It is possible that the french fry entered into the wind pipe which causes the issue. The chest pain is being caused by this. This is the most possible cause.

You should see a Doctor or go to the ER so that you can get to the diagnosis and then you can be helped better. All the best.

There is a small chance that you have a heart related issue as well and you should get an ECG to confirm this.
Hope this helps you
