Not : Thyroid related. You should discuss this swallow problem with your doctor . Does it ever bother you after eating spicy foods? Do you ever get a foul taste in your mouth or burp up food? Just a thought.

Difficulty swallowin: May be do to positioning. Try sitting upright and not bending your head far backwards or to your chest and swallow if no problem may be you do not have significatnt dysphagia or see your G.I. Doctor.
