If you have chest pain you need to see a Dr ASAP as previously described. I would definately try some mylanta too. You would be surprised how much it can help. We have had patients in before who have experienced tightening of the throat and its been because of reflux etc. The other thing that I am concerned however is that you may have an allergy to something you have had that you have no had before. Can you think of anything you have had recently that was new to your diet? If you have problems breathing, chest pain please go to your nearest hospital. I know its not the most comfortable thing sitting in an emergency waiting room but it is important that you do if you experience any tightness of your chest, pain radiating down your left arm, sudden chest pain, difficulty breathing and if you feel like your throat is closing over. If you live in Victoria, give the Nurse on Call a ring, they are absolutely fantastic and can give you professional advice over the phone on what to do. Its a free call number and since I dont know if I am allowed to put in numbers or links, I will just tell you that you can easily find it in google if you type on Nurse on Call Victoria.

I hope you feel much better soon and let us know how you get on k?
