You need medical eva: A complete medical evaluation is necessary to help you with your swallowing problem. You can either start with your primary care doctor or go to a consultant, gastroenterologist who can investigate and find the cause. It could be acid reflux which is quite easy to diagnose and treat. At times we need to do endoscopy to check the inside of the food pipe(esophagus) to rule out anything more serious.
