Dysphagia: Difficulty swallowing or dysphagia may be due to many possible causes. The best way to determine this is to undergo a gastroscopy with a Gastroenterologist to see if there is any obstruction or ulceration in the oesophagus. A course of anti reflux medications such as Pantoprazole may help as well if you are not already taking this.

Dysphagia: Difficulty swallowing, or dysphagia, is a common symptom of uncontrolled GERD. It needs evaluation by your GI doctor. Sometimes the esophagus benefits from stretching, or dilatation. This can be important, don't ignore it.
