Symptoms of dysphagia

Dysphagia is a condition characterized by difficulty swallowing. Symptoms may include a sensation of food getting stuck in the throat or chest, coughing or choking while eating or drinking, pain during swallowing, regurgitation of food, and unexpected weight loss. Individuals may also avoid certain foods or eating altogether due to fear of choking. These symptoms can vary in severity and may indicate underlying health issues, so if someone experiences persistent swallowing difficulties, they should seek medical advice for evaluation and management.
