Q: Feeling of presure and tightness in chest and lower throat

I have been having this feeeling of presure and tightness in my chest and lower throat.

It feels as if I have something blocking the passage from my throat to my chest. Sometimes when I belch, I feel better for few seconds and it continue. I also try to cough to see if it can stop but it doesn't.

 

Again I feel as if my throat is closing up. What could this be? I am really worried.

 

Am really feed up about the feeling.

I have noticed that you have answered as an "expert" for several of the posts I am reading and that the only advice you seem to give is to go see the doctor.  Anyone can say that, what exactly are you an expert in?  I haven't seen anything from you that gives any other advice or opinions.
