Difficulty Swallowing question

Stress does that to me. However, i also went to the Dr., you know, just in case.

No advice here, but I have a friend who has had that happen and she has to get her esophagus stretched.

I've felt in the past like something was caught in my throat, but nothing was. A doctor told me it could be caused by anxiety. It must have been, because it went away on its own.

Are you allergic to something?

Gerd??

esophogeal stricure is common. You should see a gastroenterologist. If indeed this is what you have they can do a dilitation via endoscopy.

Don't know if its the same thing or not, but sometimes I'll be eating and it feels like all peristalsis has stopped in my esophagus. The food just sits there. Sometimes it will pass on its own, other times I need to throw up. When it is happening, not even saliva will go down.

Had it looked into, had allergy testing done, had an upper G.I. - all negative. But can tell it is very much related to stress.
