Why do i feel like i have a lump down my throat and having a hard time swallowing food?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dysphasia: Or difficulties swallowing should be investigated promptly. Please keep track of the type of the food that is causing more trouble, specifically solids/liquids, and if symptoms are progressive or not. Usual work up includes a Barium swallow and an upper endoscopy.
