Until you have an actual diagnosis of what is causing the dysphasia, it is impossible to know whether it will get worse or better. If you were having food sticking in your esophagus, I would not ignore it. Follow through with the treatment and or diagnostic procedures that the gastroenterologist recommends. Don’t ignore it. Good luck.
