What Causes Pain In Chest When I Swallow Or Cough?
Barley today after I got out of the shower I laughed a little & felt pain in my upper chest, & somewhat in my throat. I ve heard it may be heartburn so I was guessing that s the problem? Because I had heartburn earlier today after I are hot cheeto puffs, it hurts when I swallow, yawn, or cough.. What is this & how can I fix it?

It could be heart burn or hyperacidity. It may sometimes also cause a reflux of the acid in the food pipe and lead to difficulty in swallowing.
Take syrup digene 2tsf three to four times daily.
Also start tablet pantoprazole 40mg daily to reduce acid production
