10 Myositis Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #9: Difficulty Swallowing
The esophagus is a long tube of muscle that connects the stomach to the mouth. This muscle undergoes a series of contractions that allows it to bring food down into the stomach for further digestion.
Patients who are struggling with myositis may find that they have a difficult time swallowing their food because their muscles are not working as effectively. This can make it difficult or uncomfortable for them to swallow large amounts of food.
