A member asked:
Hallo, i'm having trouble swallowing food at times lately and it's sometimes painful. what kind of dr should i see for this and should i be worried?

I would: consult a GASTROENTEROLOGIST ...Endoscopic examination or a "Barium Swallow" may be indicated! At age 39 this symptom is most likely due to something benign and you should take action but NOT WORRY! Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
