Swallowing Exercises and Postures (dysphagia treatment)

@@itstiffany485 I received many tests and a cat scan showed a lymph node behind the tongue near the epiglottis was swollen. I got a steroid shot and a steroid pack. It took about 5 days to work but it did finally swell down and I was able to swallow normal again. I really hope this helps you. Try not so panic and just keep water close for sips to swallow. I did also see an ent after Covid passed and never found out the true cause but could’ve been Covid that caused the swelling since it’s upper respiratory.

@@itstiffany485 I’m very sorry to hear you’re experiencing this. I had a terrible time in the hospital as they said it was my anxiety. They were very wrong and in denial I had this. My doctor saw my cat scan and chose the steroid pack. Ent did say this can happen so if you can get to one or a primary they can help. Be aware steroids can make anxiety escalate as well. I do hope this helps as my experience was very scary.

​@@Hotchelle I had been struggling with this since January when I got covid and couldn't swallow, they got an steroid shot as well but then I got very light headed and anxious. I couldn't swallow for week then I suddenly could. It comes and go but now I haven't been able to eat solid food for a two months already and doctors kept saying it was anxiety. I finally got one taking it a bit seriously and I have to get a swallowing xray vide type of thing done. Hopefully they find what's happening.

Hi there, I have dysphagia due to an esophageal stricture and acid reflux. I'm mainly on a liquid diet with certain soft foods like yogurt and ice cream. I went several months without eating (only liquids) before I found a doctor that correctly diagnosed my problem. I'm being treated for it now they have to gradually dialate me once a month since my stricture was severe and closer to the top of my esophagus. I'm having a problem learning how to eat and swallow properly because it's been so long since I've eaten solid food. Its been a really difficult journey, I feel like I've completely forgotten how to swallow. Anytime I try to eat anything I feel like it's getting stuck. My question is how often do you suggest I do these exercises? I'd really appreciate your opinion 🙂 Thanks and God bless❤

My main problem was that it took me several months to find a doctor that correctly diagnosed my problem. It turns out I have an esophageal stricture, which means that a part of my esophagus becomes so narrow that it's hard to pass any food through, it also makes it very difficult to swallow. Because of that I've been on a liquid diet. It is very important to get your father to a doctor so that they can diagnose and treat him. Not eating for long periods of time is very serious.

@@devilsKrEEd thank you so much for asking, you are so kind. 💕 I was finally approved for Medicare / disability, so I did get to go to speech therapy, and the best trick my speech therapist taught me was the same as number one that she has taught us here, the chin tuck! That helps me to swallow my saliva properly without is going into my lungs! although overall speech therapy did not work to get rid of my tube because apparently the little flappy thing in my throat that is controlled and connected to my brain, isd unable to be fixed to work so that I wouldn't aspirate if I eat or drink. So I am so on my feeding tube, but that is okay because I consider myself so very blessed. I did relearn how to walk and talk and write, which many people that have the type of brain lesion I have, are not so lucky. 1/3 die immediately, 1/3 get stuck in what is called locked in syndrome where they can only move their eyes for the rest of their life even though they are very alert and know what's going on, and the last third get a little bit better and accept their new normal, that's me! For that I am forever grateful and I am so thankful to be so blessed. So all in all I am doing fantastic! Thank you so much for asking my friend.

I am a Speech-Language Pathologist who has been actively practicing in the field of dysphagia for many years. It is not recommended that these exercises be performed unless they have been prescribed by a Speech-Language Pathologist following an objective swallow assessment via a Modified Barium Swallow or a Fibreoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of the Swallow. For some people, they can make the swallowing mechanism worse and actually increase the risk of obstruction / aspiration. This video is a lovely visual aid to help people who have been prescribed these exercises / manoeuvres, but it should be made clear that people should not perform them unless instructed to do so by a qualified professional.

I have had several endoscopys now and every time the results (even with biopsies) come back negative. I can swallow but often food gets stuck. I think there are many factors I need to look into however, factors the doctors can't seem to point out. Doctors I find seem very good at writing prescriptions for different drugs I should take but I wonder if there is a link for me with things like lack of sleep, fasting, not drinking throughout the day, how strenuous exercises impact my swallowing, my T-levels, etc. Something is obviously triggering it, I can go weeks with not a single episode and then other times I have the choking sensation several times a day. Maybe I need to invest in a swallowing habit diary as well as my own health observations.

I went to the dr after a car accident because of multiple complications with basic functions, this was one of them. Didn't even try to listen to my symptoms. Focused on the fact that I had memory issues (duh concussion) BUT told me it was depression?? And that I should get a prescription like Wtf ? I'm sick of the doctors where I live because they always say it's something unrelated until you really start to suffer and bother them to do testing. I'm not the only person Who's had this happen either. They say everything is nothing at this point cuz they just want you to pay big pharma. bs. KZbin has better solutions at this point 😂

I have a hard time swallowing liquids due to M S. I had little problem with food until recently when I got false teeth and now I'm have real trouble and can not swallow anything with teeth in so I have to eat lots of soft food with no teeth. I feel the muscles tiring so I have to rest. I am hoping your exercises help.. Thank you posting the video.

Hello. I was diagnosed with Pharyngeal dysphagia due to a brain injury, but this swallowing problem it's getting worse the last few months, some days it's so hard to swallow and others I don't have any problems, recently I have the sensation that food its stock in my throat, I try to swallow very hard and drink a lot of water sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't, the sensation can last 1- 2 days and suddenly disappeared, I've noticed white bumps in my throat and doing research on internet i've been able to remove them. I'm impress of what the body can adapt to every circumstance, my point here it's that I have never watched a video of swallowing exercises because it doesn't affect me every day (but when does it's so bad, worse days ) and my body did every exercise you explain here specially the last one! It's it very hard living like this. Thank you for your videos!!

Hi I'm a 18 year old male I'm suffering from swallowing difficulties . It's been 1 year now and I still have some difficulties back when it started it was like brain was not coordinating the swallow and it had gone worse over the period of like a month it had happened back then that I had a time that I was completely not able to swallow food not even solidified liquids after that I saw many doctors from a normal physician to ent to neurologist but nothing helped everything was to be seen normal in reports after that I found a ayurvedic treatment centre after which it started a improve but till date now also I'm not able to swallow properly and I hear some clicking sound when I swallow and requires water to clear the throat to every bite I take . What should I do?

[@fawad4348]

i'm also 18 and i have the same problem like u. i have gone to many doctors and got some tests too but every report is normal but still i can't swallow any solids easily. i feel like my muscles donot work and my throat is just closing and its been a year. sometimes it get worse and worse. im really tired of it

[@gregkaye5583]

Upright posture is great and I imagine that it would work best when back support is given by a chair or repositioned bed. Simply sitting on the side of a bed with someone with coordination problems could give an eater unnecessary things to think about.

Thank you, I have a form of Muscular Dystrophy called Myotonic Dystrophy. There are several ways this effects people but swallowing is one. I will try this. :)

[@sophii8674]

extremely dry mouth and too much excessive saliva is extremely hard to swallow. My swallowing muscles goes on and off and I want to swallow normally like I used to than what I'm doing now is chewing like a chew toy on my sleeves, collar, nails, and another bite when food is really stuck in my throat for a long time.

[@QueensNativeNYC]

Why do your swallow muscles go on and off if you don't mine me asking? I never had a problem swallowing in my life and then one night about two weeks ago I was having dinner and I started to notice difficulty swallowing. It felt like small particles of food were stuck in the back of my throat, and then I would have to swallow 2 or 3 times for the food to go down and ever since it's been a problem..

[@sophii8674]

It keeps getting stuck in my throat and esophagus because of the tightness. All the swallowing methods I used never last me long. My muscles aren't strong they're very weak and fatigue. I'm getting my 2 surgery and I can go back to normal.

I have orophayrengeal Dysphagia but the ENT doctor after performing a trans nasal endoscopy of my throat and a CT scan could not find the problem. Should I see a gastroenterologist or a speech therapist? I am not asking for your medical advice at all just a recommendation on who is the nest professional for me!

[@stephenappiah5766]

Maybe a barium test would show what happens when you swallow

[@SierraSpeech]

Hello, I wonder who diagnosed you with oropharyngeal dysphagia without a speech therapist or diagnostic. If you are having swallowing difficulty and the scope did not find anything, a modified barium swallow is a good option. Without your history, I cannot say what diagnostic to do. A gastroenterologist will be able to see issues with the esophagus and stomach, which can indirectly affect the swallow. This should be followed by a local speech therapist. Best of luck, Sierra

[@CelineDept.Arabic]

@Eugene Speech Therapy hello I have delayed swallowing problem. I just can't swallow when I want but a second or two later. I think it's the muscle behind uvula. I have all examination done (tsh, allergy, Gerd, and barium) can it be due to anxiety??? Becouse I have about 2 months Gerd and trouble swallowing, but now is different feeling its upside the throat. Thank you very much.

Yes it's still the same, sometimes I fell like my throat is swollen, sometimes it's not, but anyway I can't swallow normal. I can swallow just small portions of food and it's really take me lot of time to eat(about 1 hour) :(
