Question: Please answer my question. I have a feeling that something is struck in my throat. Sometimes I feel little difficulty in swallowing. I feel throat is closed while swallowing. Is it due to cold r anything else? I am getting hiccups also repeatedly, earlier it was not the case. Also I feel heart burn sometimes. These are all recent symptoms.

Brief Answer:
Require endoscopy for precise evaluation.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir/Madam.

I can certainly understand your concerns.

Please specify your age and gender.

This symptom of yours possibly represent Dysphagia.This has to be carefully evaluated especially when a mechanical obstruction is suspected which is associated with acid reflux symptoms.

For precise evaluation, I advice you to get an early Upper GIT endoscopy.

Further management if any is based on test result.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Get an endoscopy.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

Okay, please stick to my advice.

The possibility of Acalasia cardia , a disorder of esophagus has to be ruled out.

Hence an endoscopy is a safe option by all means.

Get the test and update me results.
