A member asked:

I can't eat solid food without feeling like it's stuck?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Office visit: Something is narrowing a portion of your esophagus. It can be anything from enlarged lymph nodes in the midportion of the chest to a tumor. If this has persisted for more than a day or two, see your physician without delay.
