What Causes Difficulty In Swallowing Food?

My husband and I are recently married. He has difficulty swallowing foods. When he eats he gets chocked and gets the hiccups and then vomits. He told me before we got married that he had a hypoactive thyroid but wont treat it because of the cost of lab work. He refuses to seek mediacl help. Got any advice on what could be the problem and how i can get him to see a dr.?

It would be advisable to consult a Gastroenterologist Doctor for the upper gastrointestinal endoscopic examination for the diagnosis.
