What’s wrong with feeling something stuck in your chest?

Patients feel that something is stuck in their chest, and generally speaking the common causes are mainly the following First, when the patient eats fish or chicken, it can cause fish spines or bones to get stuck in the throat or esophagus, and the patient has an obvious foreign body sensation, accompanied by painful symptoms when swallowing. At this time, it is suggested that patients should go to hospital as soon as possible to take out the foreign body by laryngoscopy or gastroscopy, and the local pain symptoms of patients can be relieved faster. Secondly, in patients with esophageal malignant tumor, as the volume of tumor cells proliferates, it will cause narrowing of esophageal lumen and thickening of canal wall, and patients will have obvious swallowing difficulty and eating stuck feeling. Patients can clarify the nature of esophageal lesions through gastroscopy and have the tumor removed as soon as possible. Combined with chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment, some patients can achieve certain therapeutic effect. Sometimes patients with reflux esophagitis also have similar symptoms.
