What Causes Pain In The Chest With Discomfort?

I took a pill Friday noon leaving me with the sensation it was still in my throat. Hoping drinking more water would do the trick I drank more, although it felt as though the pill was still stuck there. It is now Sunday & now I have somewhat of a chest pain right in the middle, along with an uncomfortable pain every time I inhale deeply, cough, or laugh really hard. I did some Googling and it appears I may have damaged my esophagus? That or it is infected & filled with liquids? I was just wondering if a doctor's visit was completely necessary or if it would go away on its own? If there are any tips on how to make this horrible feeling go away on its own, please let me know for I don't have the money to be going to doctors at the moment. Another question is how long would it take to get rid of this feeling? Please & thank you...
