This began with a knot type feeling in my throat around the solar plex level. That has gone but as i swallow i can feel fluids and solids pass through. My Grandma did end up with esophageal cancer so this is quite worrying

Get evaluated by an ENT or gastroenterologist

Hello,
If you have some node feeling then you should once get examined by a ENT specialist or gastroenterologist for endoscopic evaluation if required.
