For most of my life i have had problems with swallowing. i frequently get solids stuck in my throat and choke on liquids as much as three times a wee?

"dysphagia": First make sure your thyroid level is in normal range. Then get it checked out with either a 'swallow study' done by radiology or an ENT to scope your throat and esophagus. Usually, a chronic condition requires both exams - fluoro and scope. Even then may require speech therapist to perform a 'modified swallow study' after initial eval and exams.
