I have a shallowing problem but Neurolens (multi-prism) glasses helped a lot. I used to get pain at the base of my skull while eating. Drinking lots of water while eating helps as you can get a swallow study done through imaging (VFSS).

I have the same issue - but I've been living with it for 26~ years now. I swallow using my tongue [kinda like it's pushing food down]. Small food like rice grains are a nightmare to deal with; they get stuck so easily.

Report it to your doctor - see if they can get you in to see a specialist, hopefully they'll be able to help you.

It was put down as FND because there's no physical/visible reason for it happening.
