What Causes Uncomfortable Feeling In Chest?

I have the sensation of my trachea being squeezed all the way down to the middle of my chest. I don t have any breathing or swallowing issues but it s an uncomfortable feeling. Like constantly having a lump in your throat. What would/could cause that?

Thanks for your question on HCM. I think it is stress and tension related only but still we have rule out other organic causes of trachea and esophagus.
So I advice you some investigations like
1. Chest x ray
2. Barium swallow
3 x ray cervical spine AP lateral view.
If all the above are normal than your symptoms must be due to stress and anxiety.
So better to avoid stress, keep calm and relax.
