Sometimes when i eat i feel like i can't swallow. what creates this sensation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dysphagia: Feeling like you can't swallow needs an explanation - sometimes this is anxiety, or a chewing / haste problem but sometimes it is due to a muscle or tongue problem, an anatomic abnormality of the esophagus or even problem with the normal wave that propels food down the esophagus.
