What Can Cause Difficulty In Swallowing?
yes, I am worried about my feeling in my throat. I can hardly swallow. it goes down but I worry. My doctor gave me a weaker dose but changed it to 0.065 mg. she didn t have this on my last blood test and I asked her why but she said to continue the pills. My first blood test was 145-sodium serum. You can e-mail me at YYYY@YYYY LOG ON TO SPECTRUM Thank you so much and if you need more info, please ask..I m 83 but quite healthy, last year I retired .

Hello,
You are having difficulty in swallowing as per history. For that your posterior pharynx examination should be done to look for enlarged tonsil. Local part ultrasonography or X-ray done to rule out goiter. Kindly mention which medication you have been prescribed. If no cause evident then endoscopy can be planned.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
