Decoding Dysphagia: A Look at Its 10 Symptoms

6. Sensation of Something in the Throat

One of the most common complaints of dysphagia patients is a feeling that something is stuck in the throat. In most cases, however, there isn't anything in the throat. If you have esophageal dysphagia, which is a form of dysphagia, you are more likely to experience this symptom. The cause usually has to do with the lower esophageal sphincter, which is the muscle between the esophagus and stomach. Mechanical causes may also be to blame. In rare cases, a tumor or non-benign growth may be the culprit. If you feel that something is stuck in your throat, consult your doctor for further evaluation.
