Suggest Treatment For Swallowing Difficulty And Breathing Problem

I had difficulty breathing and swallowing in 1994; so, an ENT put me on five different meds; after which, I struggled to breathe. His associate told me to stop ALL meds and ordered an MRI. It was inconclusive. The doctor did an exploratory and found nothing. Afterwards, he said he thought it was GERD. Around 2003-4, I was diagnosed with Grave s disease and received metoprolol 10mg. Another ENT gave me RAIU to confirm. Since 1993, my tinnitus and neck circumference are increasing. I always tell doctors and no one has figured it out. They run tests; but no diagnosis or treatment. My arteries are under a lot of pressure. Help!

Hello,

* As per my surgical experience, the swallowing difficulty with breathing problems might be related to issue with esophagus or diaphragm tissue.

* I would like to discuss the need for esophagus manometry with diaphragmatic ultrasound with your consultant in the diagnosis of this interesting problem from medical point of view.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
