What Causes Difficulty In Swallowing?
I m having trouble with swallowing ..No pain but it seems like I have to work hard to swallow. It has been like this for a while I thought that is was panic attacks...It accurs when I m driving most of the time downhills and up and in curves..I thought it could be water in my ears like I had once..

Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I have read the query and according to the symptoms described by you I suggest you to undergo an endoscopy and barium swallow for visualization of esophagus for diagnosing the exact cause of the symptoms.It can be either a motility disorder of esophagus like achalasia cardia,diffuse esophageal spasm or any obstruction in the esophagus.
Hope this answers the query.
Regards,
Dr.Tushar Tamboli
