A member asked:
It's difficult to swallow, why could this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get examined: Difficulty swallowing could be due to many problems such as inflammation of the throat or esophagus, neuromuscular issues such as myasthenia or Parkinsons, and since the characteristics and motility are critical, this needs rapid evaluation, and intervention. Your generic description is of concern, but pinpointing diagnosis and solution needs to come from your doctor.
