How did you know you needed an endoscopy?

OK, this is paranoia, but know I can ask ya'll. How do you know if you have something "stuck" in your sleeve? I have read where some have had to have endoscopy (believe that is correct?), because of something stuck in your sleeve. Was it stuck in your throat or actually obstructing the sleeve? I accidentally did not chew a piece of fish very well yesterday, and my lil' head won't let it go.... I feel totally fine, but was curious how you knew that had something "stuck?"

I have not had an endoscopy and so far have gotten nothing stuck in the sleeve. But when is was stuck in the band I had chest pain or pain between my shoulder blades. Once the pain is gone, the stuck food is gone. I don't think people usually have an endoscope procedure for stuck food, but I could be wrong.
