What Causes Feeling Of Something Is Blocking Inside Throat Or Chest?

This is the first time I experience this. I sneezed really loud and hard earlier, which was a relief coz it felt like something was tickling my nose, then right after that, until now, it feels like there's an air-bubble or something blocking inside my throat or chest. But I could definitely feel it right in my chest part, but half feels like as if I tried to swallow a whole meat and it got stuck in the middle of my esophagus near the middle of my chest. I'm worried, that there's reaelly something solid blocking in my heart or it could be something serious to be ignored, or something I could do something about at home. Please help. Im 28 years old, female, with family history of heart problems, been also having throat infections at least 3-4 times a year (which they said is not good and my tonsils should already be removed or else bacteria could reach my hear). I would really appreciate your help, big time.

Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

First try to rule out respiratory causes particularly first starting from nose by rhinoscopy to look for polyp ....
Post nasal drip can lead such blocking sensation in throat.....

Second rule out chronic pharyngitis By throat examination...
As chronic infection might lead dry mucosa and such symptoms....

Here esophageal cause like achalasia cardia has to be ruled out if dysphagea present...
X ray , manometry like investigation helpful....
If needed endoscopic or bronchoscopic examination done.

Your physical examination in detail has to be done with detail history for work up....

Take care....
