What Causes Difficulty In Swallowing Food?
I am having difficulty swallowing food. It feels like it gets stuck in the middle of my chest and can be very painful at times. My father suffered from the same thing and the only course of action his doctors took was to stretch his esophagus. It helped for a little while, but it would always re-occur on him

Hello,
You should do a fybroscopy of esophagus to check for the cause of the dysphagia.
Your doctor may treat you based on your diagnosis.
