Feeling Like Food Is Stuck in the Throat

Patients with dysphagia commonly feel as if there's food stuck in their throat or behind their breastbones. This symptom is more of an annoyance, but it can be an important signal indicating dysphagia. The symptom is noticeable enough to be easily trackable and not easily mistaken for other problems.

This symptom should be taken more seriously if it persists or happens repeatedly within a few days. A physician may be able to use more exact diagnostic tools to identify the source of the problem.
