4. Having a feeling that food is stuck in your throat is another common symptom of dysphagia.
Food isn’t actually stuck in your throat, it’s just the feeling you’re having. Some people may try sticking something in their mouths to try to get the food out. This will just cause the person to vomit and make the condition worse. The person may even try to clear their throat, but the feeling won’t go away. The only way to get help is by letting a doctor see what the problem is.
A CAT scan may be needed to take a look at your throat. If the problem is serious, the doctor may suggest going to a nose, ear, and throat doctor who can help you with dysphagia. Once the problem is fixed, the feeling of having something stuck in your throat will go away. The specialist will give you tips on what you can to prevent it from happening again.
