Lately i seem to have difficulty swallowing larger pills (like fish oil). it feels like it gets stuck in my throat and drinking more water won't help.

Dysphagia: Dysphagia is distinguished as "transfer dysphagia" (problem moving food from mouth to top of esophagus) versus "transit dysphagia" (problem getting food down esophagus & into stomach). Motility disorders, strictures, ulceration (pill-associated, viral), tumors, etc must all be ruled out.
