Our ENT specialists can assess your condition and offer treatments to make swallowing easier and less painful.
What are symptoms of dysphagia?
- Pain when swallowing
- Inability to swallow
- Coughing or gagging when swallowing
- Drooling
- Regurgitation
- Food or acid reflux in the throat
- Heartburn
- The sensation of food being stuck
- Unexplained weight loss
Dysphagia can impact many different individuals, though it is more common in older adults. People with neurological or nerve disorders, or those with cancer, often have weaker throat muscles, which increases the likelihood of swallowing difficulties. Additionally, patients with esophageal conditions like GERD or other esophageal weaknesses are more prone to experiencing trouble swallowing.
