What's going on with the blockage from the neck to the chest?

Many people in life have experienced or are experiencing blockage from the neck to the chest. Some people may think that it is caused by some food accidentally blocking the esophagus during diet. Some people have not been choked by food but still experience this situation, and they don’t know what caused it. So, what is the problem of blockage from neck to chest?

First, what is the matter with the blockage from the neck to the chest? In fact, the chest we are talking about is the upper abdomen. This area is the location of the stomach, and the right side is the liver and gallbladder area. Chest tightness is mostly caused by bloating, indigestion and other reasons. If you often feel a tightness in the heart, you should rule out chronic gastritis, gastroptosis, duodenal stagnation, etc., which are caused by weakened gastrointestinal function. In addition, intestinal flora imbalance, liver and gallbladder diseases can also cause stomach and abdominal bloating due to digestive dysfunction. Heart disease sometimes manifests as a stuffy feeling in the chest area, but most of the symptoms include chest tightness, shortness of breath, and chest pain. Chest tightness is a subjective feeling, that is, breathing is difficult or not enough. In mild cases, it seems nothing happens, but in severe cases, you will feel uncomfortable, as if a stone is pressing on your chest, and even have difficulty breathing.

Second, it may be a functional manifestation of the body's organs, or it may be one of the earliest symptoms of a disease in the human body. People of different ages experience chest tightness, and the causes, treatments, and consequences are different. Therefore, further relevant examinations are needed to make a clear diagnosis. It is recommended to first check whether there is lung infection, pleurisy, tuberculosis, or pneumothorax. Sometimes, it is also necessary to pay attention to the fact that gastrointestinal ulcers and pancreatic diseases may also cause this phenomenon. It is also necessary to pay attention to the B-ultrasound and liver function of the liver and gallbladder to see if there are any problems. An electrocardiogram should also be performed to check whether there is a possibility of myocardial ischemia. Therefore, if you experience chest tightness, don’t be afraid, and don’t take it lightly. You cannot easily judge the severity of the disease based on the superficial symptoms. If there is no sign of improvement, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible to avoid missing the best treatment time.
