Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain the white chunks coming from mouth and throat seems to be tonsil stones or Tonsilloliths that are formed due to calcification or debris and food particles that get accumulated over the tonsillar crypts..
It can lead to bad breath as well as recurring throat infection..
Heaviness in chest can be due to recurring coughing as well as can be due to anxiety and does not seems like anything serious as you do not have any other symptoms..
I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation can help in diagnosis and in case if it is tonsil stones the physician can remove it manually..
You can also be advised to do warm saline gargles..
Gargle with 1:1 solution of hydrogen peroxide and water..
Always gargle after meals.
You can also limit the intake of dairy as it has high calcium and can cause more stone formations..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
