Why Am I Experiencing Problems In Swallowing Medicine And Food?
I am having swallowing my morning medicine, like this morning I had trouble getting a quarter inch pill down and choked rather bad. I am also having issues getting food down. I am 57 years old and have drank a lot of beer and alcohol in my life. I am on medicine, Januvia, Irbesartan, Bisoprolol and Crestor.
