Workup needed: Symptoms are of concern and need further assessment as a variety of conditions may contribute to such symptoms. Imaging and/ or upper endoscopy as well as a thorough ENT exam will be needed. From simple things such as a foreign body to much more complex structural and/or functional abnormalities affecting trachea or esophagus anything is possible. Start with your primary doc who can coordinate.
