What Causes Chest,back And Arm Pain After A Choke?

I choked last night on some food and my kids had to help me get it unstuck. They both were hitting me in the back until the food got unstuck. A short while later I started having chest, back, and arm pain. When I sneeze, the pain is very severe. Could something be broken or cracked?

Pulmonologist 's  Response
thanks for your question
i completely understand your problem
in my opinion it can be a erosion in the food pipe or wind pipe.
you need to consult a pulmonologist who can carry on some investigations to diagnose the accurate location of the injury.
for now you should take a proton pump inhibitor like pantoprazole and start some antibiotic after consulting a pulmonologist.
thanks /regards

may god bless you with good health
