Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have difficulty in swallowing which could be due to gastroesophageal reflux disease, it could be due to stiffness of jaw joints and it could be due to raised pressure in lower end of esophagus. Need not to panic much. I would suggest you to visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined. You should go for endoscopy as well. Till then you should maintain proper oral hygiene. Take antibiotic and do mouth stretching exercises. You should start treatment after proper prescription from doctor. Take diet rich in soft food and drink plenty of water and liquids. Do warm saline gargles. You can go for surgery of lower end of esophageal sphincter if pressure is really high only after proper examination.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
