You describe: Solid food dysphagia ...Possibly due to chronic inflammation from acid reflux but there are several possible causes. This condition needs evaluation by your primary care doctor or a gastroenterologist.

Food/heartburn: This could be a serious problem and needs to be fully evaluated. See your doctor for testing.
