What Causes Sore Throat And Pressure In The Chest After Taking Anesthesia Medicine?

I had anesthesia yesterday morning. I think that they put a tube down my throat to prevent vomiting form the other kind of anesthesia. Now I have a sore throat and chest pressure. I am not sure if I should see a doctor. I do have a lot of chest pressure but no breathing problems. The hospital called me and just said to drink cold drinks. Do I need to see a doctor or will this clear up?
