Throat & Sternum Pressure

Does anyone else ever feel a certain pressure on their throat by the trachea and then a quivering pressure a little left of the sternum? Im taking a beta blocker for svt but these uncomfortable pains keep coming back and my doc looks at me like im crazy when i explain them. Does anybody else feel this?!

I have the same symptoms and the doctor gave me muscle relaxer. I am on beta blockers as well.

I sometimes get similar pains and discomforts. I'll also get to the point at times where the muscle over my left peck tightens inward and is sore when I try to straighten my shoulders. The doctor gives you that look of, "when is lunch?" when you try to tell them these things, because if it's not in their books, they don't think it happens. I think it comes merely from the fact that you have a metal box in your chest stretching your muscle in ways which are not natural and at times the body tries to compensate for it. I would keep a record of when it happens and have the tech check on your device for any "noise" or "interference" the next time you are in as it could be a lead that has rubbed to exposure causing a mild electric shock pull on your muscle. More than likely, it is just your body telling you there is something weird in your chest that you should be reminded of.
