Chest pain when swallowing?
Ever since i drank a pill a couple days ago, my chest has been hurting every time I swallow anything. I was fine before that and the pill was only for acne treatment. Is going to the doctor necssary or is there any home treatments? (plus, I'm a 15 year old male).

Must be stuck. Drink a lot of water. Have a couple pieces of bread with a little butter.
You may have to go to the Dr. I know someone who this happened to after eating a piece
of turkey, and he did have to see a Dr. Good luck.

GERD (heartburn). The medication has made your stomach sore and as a result it is holding back food longer than it should which causes pressure and some of the acid food is getting back into your oesophagus and causing a painful burning sensation.
Home remedies involve antacids, and ones with an alginate in them are better at soothing a sore lining. Remgel and Gaviscon are good ones.
If the condition persists then see your doctor who may prescribe Omeprazole or something similar to supress acid production if you still have to take medicine that causes stomach problems as a side effect.

Chest pains are usually caused by pinched muscles in the back where they send the pains around the body on the nerves to become pains in your rib, chest or heart areas. To get rid of that pain you have to free up your back muscles and here’s how to do that:
Back:
(do from a sitting position)
Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder, fingers over the back and the palm in the front and firmly pull down on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.
For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
