Hoarse Voice
Patients suffering from dysphagia may find others commenting on how their voice has changed. One possible change is hoarseness and difficulty speaking loudly. Friends, family or the patient might notice this sudden or gradual change.
A hoarse voice can be a symptom of a number of things, so it should be considered in combination with other potential symptoms. Patients with both a hoarse voice and trouble swallowing, for example, might want to talk to a doctor about possible dysphagia.
