Symptom #7: Difficulty Swallowing
Difficulty swallowing is also known as dysphagia. It occurs when food no longer passes normally from the mouth to the stomach via the esophagus. Some patients may describe it as a sensation of having food stuck in their throat, a feeling of pressure in the chest after eating, feeling of burning sensation after eating, or as bad as feeling like they are choking.
If you have difficulty swallowing, you should see your doctor as it can be a sign of more severe conditions such as erosive esophagitis and esophageal cancer.
