Hi,
The possible list of causes for the mentioned symptoms includes globus hystericus (psychological dysphagia), achalasia cardia, gastro-esophageal reflux disease and obstruction due benign/malignant growth. I suggest you to request a few diagnostic tests like barium swallow, complete blood picture and through physical examination from your family physician.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
