A member asked:
Dysphagia for 8 weeks. feel as food is getting stuck in chest. discomfort chest and back. neg endoscopy 2.5 years ago, i'm 27'. possible cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain swallowing: 8 wks is a long time...2.5 years ago is also a long time. You definitely need to see your doctor. You could have scar tissue that is tightening down your esophagus. It could also be esophageal spasms...associated with stress. (been there done that). Had my first spell in 5th grade. You are really young to have cancer in that area but you are having symptoms far too long. see doc!
