Having trouble swallowing food. no problem with liquids. no pain or any other symptom. i kinda feel tightness in throat, but hard to say. what's up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See answer: This may be heartburn / acid reflux or it could be a condition called eosinophilic esophagitis which can cause narrowing of your esophagus as well as rings which can make swallowing solids (especially soft ones like bread, pasta, meats, etc) more difficult. See a GI doctor for further evaluation. Hope you get better soon.
