I have had same thing
Gigi
I had the same thing last summer for several weeks. It was horrible - I kept coughing and felt like there was something lodged in my throat.
After SEVERAL visits to the doctor as well as the emergency room ( when I was hyperventilating) I was prescribed Reglan. It has helped 95% of the time!
They said I had dysphagia "People with dysphagia have difficulty swallowing and may also experience pain while swallowing. Some people may be completely unable to swallow or may have trouble swallowing liquids, foods, or saliva. Eating then becomes a challenge. Often, dysphagia makes it difficult to take in enough calories and fluids to nourish the body."
It is associated with MS.
I hope it works out for you. It may not be dysphagia - but at least you might ask the doctor if it is?
My best to you
Mo
