Sure, see GI doctor: Difficulty swallowing ("dysphagia") can be distinguished as a "transfer" problem (difficulty moving food from mouth to top of esophagus), "transit" problem (difficulty moving food down the esophagus), "spasm", gerd (due to sphincter problems), or obstructive (webs, rings, strictures, ulcer, tumor). Best to see a gastroenterologist (gi doctor) for evaluation and treatment.

Dysphagia : Not sure what you were asking, since your question cut off, but if you have dysphagia, you need to see a gastroenterologist for evaluation. He may also be able to dilate the esophagus to alleviate your problem, depending on the findings. Do not delay. Good luck.
