Hi Krank,

It sounds like you should get that checked. Sometimes it could be a hiatial Hernia, could be GURDS, do you have heartburn? That is something that you can have checked. They can do an upper GI series. No need for any scopes. Sometimes your esophogus can close up and may need to be stretched. It could be dangerous if you get something stuck in your throat...so take small bites and maybe you should stick with mushy foods until you get this checked. Don't wait, get it checked.

Hugs,

Sandy

If a person receives spinal epidurals isn't that a risk of the RSD spreading to that area? As far as the swallowing issue, I have a very tough time swallowing food that is dry. Such as chicken or any other meat. It seems to get stuck right at the bottom of my throat and it doen't want to go any further, down or back up. Thank you
