Can someone attempt to diagnosis what's causing my trouble swallowing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can't swallow: You should consult a GI doctor who can take a history, examine you and perhaps do some tests like a barium swallow, endoscopy, etc. There are many causes for this symptom and some can be very serious and others can be benign such as anxiety when eating in front of others.
