I have had chronic 24 hour undiagnosed throat constriction for 5 years. The other unusual symptom I have is occasionally I will have chest pain - like there is something in the middle of my chest. This condition sometimes takes days to heal. It is just kind of sore in my chest especially when I move for days and then gradually gets better. Could this be related to a hernia or not? I have been told by doctors that I have not hernia. If I eat before I go to bed though I wake up with very mild pain there that is relieved by taking a deep breath. Thank you for any advice.
