What is Dysphagia (Difficulty Swallowing)?

[@stuartgitau2409]

I had this for issue for about a month, maybe a manifestation of something of sorts. But what I’d say for those going through this, be patient, like with everything it’s a process. The key is to remember swallowing is a reflex, build that confidence of chewing and allowing the food to slide to the back, you will automatically swallow it. What I found was I was swallowing my food from the front of my mouth rather than having the confidence to let it slide down the throat. That’s what messed me but having that realization that swallowing is a reflex you will be good. Brownies or cakes were the first kinda foods that gave me the confidence and just build upon that. Trust me you will be okay

thanks, thought i was gon die forreal because i get so scared just letting food go down without me swallowing right away

A month later doing much better, I decided to move to Nexium rather than somac, breathing issues gone, something in somac caused major issues for me. Still get swallowing issues late in the day so I avoid meals at night. Have found white bread with nothing on it to soak up the excess saliva which causes my swallowing issues. Still can’t lie on my left side due to pain , X-rays , CT scans , radium meal tests , nothing shows anything there. So for now I’m happy to be getting better, stress plays a part too . Not the cause but can aggravate mine

If anyone heaving choking sensation because of anxiety don't worry you'll get over it. I suffered from it for 2 months. I went to several doctors and they told me that I am totally fine. Then I went to therapist still nothing happened. For this all you need to self confidence. And when you get panic attacks while eating just let it be don't react and do your usual work. Keep yourself busy set a goal and have a trust in yourself. That's how your body will understand that swallowing is not a threat. Look at human body anatomy that's how you'll realise that you'll not choke you can swallow. Thru recovery you might have experience ups and downs don't worry sometimes our body don't feel confident enough. In my journey I lost 10kg and I couldn't do anything I couldn't study or talk I was really depressed. So talk about this with your parents friends try going outside have fun go restaurants keep yourself busy and these things really help for recover.

[@ShadaeMastersAstrology]

Magnesium and an anti anxiety medication fixed my swallowing symptoms. I was severely low in magnesium which I believe prompted the panic attacks.

How did you get over it? How do I know what the cause is? I've rang the doctors and hospital but they don't seem to want to help me

[@greggg6482]

I haven’t fully gotten over it but I’m getting better. The way I found out was by going to different hospitals and telling the doctors my symptoms and tests other doctors have done to me. They did two different tests on me. The first one was an esophagram which is when they lay you in a bed and a machine takes pictures of your swallowing and how food and drinks go down. They also did another test where they put a tube down my nose into my throat (forgot the name of it) but that also showed them everything was normal.

[@greggg6482]

If doctors don’t want to help then you might have to call different ones because not being able to swallow is a huge issue that needs to be taken care of sooner rather than later. Good luck! I hope everything gets better

I recently had a choking episode and luckily I was able to get the food out before any real damage but now a new problem has arisen. I am afraid of swallowing. Every time I try to eat, my mind goes back to that moment and I am afraid that I will choke when I swallow. Any advice on how to deal with this will help as I will like to get back to normal as soon as I can. This is no way to live.

[@mesac03ify]

I identify myself........This is what I do...... I try to watch an interesting movie or video or engage in a captivating activity and then start to eat, that way I keep the brain from unleashing any defensive reflex connected to the trauma........ Other times I just tell myself ''this shit won't control me!' and I go Spartan mode..... If we keep being afraid of choking the brain will always be defensive and work against us... When traveling alone or taking public transportation always carry a water bottle with you since the feeling of having thick saliva on the back of your throat or having your throat too dry can cause anxiety and make you feel like you are choking. I travel 45 mins to work every day and I always have water with me... These are the things that have helped me to build confidence again, since i'ts more the lack of it and the build of anxiety than a phisical problem most of the time.

[@isakay539]

@@mesac03ify Thank you so much for saying this. It is what I also noticed these past few days. For 2 days last week, I was able to eat solid food and on the second day I was going to have some smoothie for dinner. This is the smoothie I've been drinking for like a month but for some reason that night I wasn't able to finish it. It's like my body forgot how to swallow and all of a sudden I felt it going down the wrong way. It got so bad that I couldn't even swallow my spit after. The next morning I woke up, I was able to drink water and some Boost (meal replacement). I tried eating solid food for lunch and I was able to take a few satisfying bites before I started thinking about the smoothie situation the previous night. Everything went downhill from there. So what you said about being distracted while eating might be right because this morning stress from work was clugging my mind and I before I realized it, I finished the Boost without any problems whatsoever. I am going to try like you said to not think about eating or just occupy my mind with something else. I noticed that since this started, eating is not a reflex action anymore and that shouldn't be the case. Thank you.

[@isakay539]

@@lifewithzinnah It is weird. But like I am noticing these past few days it is about fear. I thought that to prevent choking again, I had to pay attention to my eating but in doing so, I am realizing that I am causing more problems than fixing.

I have a really hard time initiating swallowing solids. I just chew it until i can trigger it to happen. Once I do it, it usually goes down fine but sometimes after overly chewing I force myself to swallow because I think it must be anxiety and the swallow is weak and the food doesn’t move into my esophagus quick and easy like it should but it’s slow and weak. It’s like I propel the food to the back of my throat but the swallow doesn’t come immediately. Once in the esophagus it goes fine. I don’t ever aspirate or choke. I had a barium swallow and it was normal. I get reflux and indigestion pretty commonly but there’s only a little irritation in my throat so idk if it’s related because everything I’ve seen on reflux just talks about food getting stuck in the esophagus and nothing like what I experience. I have a easier time eating after waking up which makes me think it mostly has to be in my head, but I don’t see how it could be purely psychological. Idk what it could be though. Sorry for long comment but any suggestions?

May I ask. If I suffer from swallowing food, I spit out nearly everything I get in my mouth, I can’t eat normal because I spit out the food.

From that day I did not eat or act normal as I used to. I really need help. It’s like my heart is broken because I’m so scared of what if I won’t get back to myself or eat with my family or just eat normal without filling a lump and thinking of the traumatic experience. I try to pray everyday to just maybe a day to be myself again. My daily routine has totally changed after all that. So do I have this or is it just anxiety? I really want this to go away.

If you suffer from this like I have for years and it is centered around food find a good allergist. I went through multitude of pcp and gi’s who would just tell me well you have dysphasia good luck there’s no cure. Long story short I found out I am gluten intolerant and was causing eosinophils to attack my intestines, stomach and throat. Villai are severely blunted affecting digestive enzymes and stomach acid was near non existent. Stomach acid controls the LES (esophageal sphincter) closing/chumming of food and break down for the intestines. No acid leaves LES wide open and spasming. Don’t give up, find a good dr to help navigate this. All my signs were there come to find out.. anemia, low vit D, gas bloating, throat closing and food swallowing issues and it took a lifetime of drs for one to finally figure it out. Takeaway- elimination diet..I started taking digestive enzymes and Lots of hcl/pepsin. Eating fermented foods to build good bacteria.Stayed away from the immune offender ( mine is gluten) and filter your water. Haven’t had a problem since, took about a year to fully recover. I hope this helps someone because I know the feeling of doom and helplessness this throat disorder causes.

I became acosstomed to chewing my food, taking a drink, chewing some more then swallowing and that went on for 2 years and even now I cannot swallow without a drink.. it is horrible. and around 4 weeks ago I looked in my throat because it was bothering me so badly, it hurt so bad and I looked and I had white like pebbles? all over my tonsils and I told me mom and it was around 12pm and she told me "your fine u probably have strep again I can't deal with this I have work" so I cried my self to sleep, my anxiety was through the roof and we went to the doctors, I seen my pediatrician and she told me I was completely fine, she seen no visible white patches on my tonsils, I explained to her it felt like a lump in my throat and that I had difficulty swallowing, she said she seen absolutely nothing and I thought I was crazy, I got my blood drawn and it came back that I had a very very severe bacterial infection in my blood and in my throat, I took amoxicillin for 10 days, twice a day as prescribed, I would burp so much and I became unable to swallow my spit, I'd choke-or at least felt as if I was choking, my throat became very sore and uncomfortable and Everytime we went to the doctors they told me I had swollen lymph nodes, I just went to the doctors yesterday and explained to her I have been having horrible ear aches, chest pains, I feel like I have been unable to breathe, unable to drink and swallow and she told me she believes it is acid reflux and I have began researching and I am very scared that it is much more than just strep or acid reflux... I am so tired of dealing with this it has gotten to the point where I have began thinking of hurting myself, to make all the pain go away, I just want to eat and feel normal, all the time I feel like my throat and chest is compressed or I'll get aches in my jaw and throat and I have no idea what to do, a week ago I was 169.5 and now I am down to 145, I am so scared. my birthday is in 2 months, April 2nd and I'm going to be sitting there unable to eat anything at my own party because of this, I need help I don't know what to do..

@@hannahbanana5649 hi Hannah, by no means am I a doctor but all I can offer is personal advice that helped me. 1) have your mom find you a better doctor that is equipped to handle this. Specifically a good gastroenterologist that takes you seriously and will perform endoscopy and intestinal scoping/imaging. 2)start an elimination diet and food journal (look into fodmap/scd diets for some theory behind some of the biology occuring). It can take monthsto years for your body to eliminate and heal from damage caused. 3)get tested for Epstein Barr/lymes diseases. I too started to develop these symptoms after “mono”. 4) if multi vitamins are appropriate for you and you can tolerate them (per your parents amd docs)take them daily to fill in the dietary gaps caused by inflammation. helped me mentally and physically. Finally.. hang in there and don’t give up. You will figure this out. It takes time and an immense amount of patience/detective work.

Yes !!!! You just confirmed what I just figured out doing much research with my issues . Low stomach acid!!!! I’m already gf I have celiac. But I just figured out I have low acid and now I assume I have low iron and B12 because of blood work . Thank you for saying this ! I knew I was on to the answer myself.

It happened out of the blue for me too. I also have no problem drinking water but solid food are serious for me. I recommend watching this video, I developed dysphasia only some days ago but O found this video and I practice some of its exercises and feel more secure eating solids. It is very terrifying when I developed it suddenly. I don’t think I can eat solid foods a lot now but if I have to I feel a bit more safe using certain swallowing techniques

[@alittleatinyatiny1821]

Search up ‘ Swallowing Exercises and Postures ‘ I find the chin tuck technique makes me feel way safer, but again it’s only been like 3 days since it developed, I am only 16 so it’s not due to old aging and I still hold back a little on solid foods. So I basically don’t know a lot right now. Though, I wish you the best and you’ll find what works for you soon.

@@alittleatinyatiny1821 thank you so much! Update: I can swallow now solid food. I think it's back to normal but I'm still trying to observe it. I also drink warm green tea with honey , I think it somehow helped. Do you feel better now after the exercise?

[@ReverbXDark_Knight]

[@nqhl4006]

man i really screwed up lol, i think i have this due to nerve damage which weakens the muscle used to swallow cuz now every time i swallow i feel like a pop/block in my throat sigh.. everything in my life just gets worse and worse damnit! I mean I’m pretty good at overpowering it with my own methods, but still I don’t want to do all that work just to fucking swallow! And I am a huge food lover so this sent my depression even worse. It’s like my throat does a “worm dance” halfway thru the swallow and it causes me to choke in such a weird way, and then my heart beats so fast and I get anxiety for like 15 seconds.. I have never vomited first like 10 years but I have come close a few times but I’d say it was more of a choke/my throat pushing the food back up when I want to swallow ! Also I find when I swallow I get some mucus build up in the back of my throat happens often not sure what that’s about or if it has anything to do with it! Gosh I have anxiety thinking about going to the doctor and seeing what they are going to do ! Anything with throat.. is a NOPE for me, and guess what happens? I get a disease that involves the throat.. great! Anyone ever experience this? And overcame ? If so PLEASE TELL ME WHAT

The way you described it sounds kind of familiar to my kind of problem. Have you been feeling better? Cuz I only recently started feeling this way and it’s scaring me .

[@itzrosie3414]

Maybe it has to do with your mouth being too dry that you start to produce more saliva cuz your mouth is trying to regain that moisture back . Maybe you should eat sugar-free foods.

[@ramiller2007]

I normally choke on rice grains or chicken. But this time its lasting more than 30 minutes of food stuck in my throat. Lots of thick saliva built up and I had to force myself to throw up to get the food out. Still have the sensation of food stuck in my throat. I felt like I was going to die!

I feel like I have dysphagia because tonight, I cooked my food I didn't eat too much .. so I fed it to the dog .. is that dysphagia you feel You can't swallow. The saliva will come back spit out the food. This condition is so painful I wish I could -check up but there is still covid, instead of check up, not first because maybe you have been waiting in line for so long .. you are not aware that you have been infected with covid.

Swallowing is very painful it just happened yesterday but I thought nothing of it

[@subsbyaweekchallenge]

Every time I swallow, my food gets stuck in this place at the back of my mouth. And after that I try to initiate the reflex. But sometimes it doesn't work and eventually it gets irritating and weird. But the only way is down.

[@menaraakbar1111]

That's what I felt it's irritation

[@christianfrogger8113]

I’m the same way and what’s weird is it seemed to get better most of the spring and summer and now it’s coming back again the same time of year it did last year. I have tried allergy medicines and it did not work. Last year I went to 3 different doctors and ENTs and none of them could figure out what was wrong. It’s like when I go to swallow (normally solid foods but can happen with liquids if I’m drinking to fast.) the back of my mouth does not not get the signal to initiate the swallowing process. And now that I have been conscious of it coming back this the second time in a row same season as last year I notice a subtle pressure in my nasal area. Maybe I have an infection in the back of my throat and nasal area. I do have a history of getting strep throat. But I had a tonsillectomy the year before this all began.

If I'm not careful, when I swallow things they get stuck in my throat and I have to get water so it goes down. I also have choked water 5 times now and almost drowned. But luckily I'm still here!! I don't know what I have, but I worry a lot. Just hoping I can go to the doctor soon because It's been continuous. I also believe its gotten a little worse. Sometimes when I eat too much my food comes up my throat not digested. I'm hoping I am fine.

I always wondered why I always had a fear of swallowing pills. When I was little I would always choke on food and my mom would always have to come to the rescue. I would choke on noodles, meats, my excessive saliva and drinks. When I got older I had to take pills and I couldn't swallow it for the life of me an I would keep coughing it back up and I still have a hard time swallowing them. I still choke on my food at times but I just try to choke it up by forcing myself to cough really hard. This answers a lot of my questions.

[@digitalcurrency4737]

That's interesting because I used to take vitamins and supplements in pill form and at times especially when eating bagels it would feel like it would sit in my chest and not digest and choke me. I stopped taking vitamins and supplements for a year and didnt have the problems and now the last few months I started taking vitamins and supplements again and I am having the same problem again
