A member asked:

Have difficulty swallowing sometimes. or feels odd to swallow certain things but i never choke and food never gets stuck. low vit d off 22. cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe not related: Dysphagia is distinguished as "transfer dysphagia" (problem moving food from mouth to top of esophagus) versus "transit dysphagia" (problem getting food down esophagus & into stomach). Motility disorders, strictures, ulceration (pill-associated, viral), tumors, etc must all be ruled out.

Dr Feola and another doctor agreed
