A member asked:

Had med help for minor dysphagia - vita/stim therapy where electro 'shock' helps encourage stronger swallow. will prob ever go away? still gets stuck

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Etiology?: I'd have to know the reason you have dysphagia to know your prognosis, and also the type of therapy you are getting to see if it's even a proven therapy. Hard to say what the natural course of this problem is, until you find out what it is !
