Swallowing problem

1 Reply

For 3 Years I’ve had a swallowing problem it hasn’t got worse and it hasn’t got better it’s kinda just stayed the same, it feels as though my throat contracts when I swallow and it feels weak I’m okay with liquids it’s just solids it doesn’t feel like it goes down right and it’s just slow. I’ve actually over the past 3 years maintained a healthy weight I have an endoscopy in 3 days I’m just worrying about what they find. I’m 22 and weight about 11.3st

Hi there. Firstly there are many things it can be other than cancer. You may need medication to help you. Having an endoscopy will tell them if there is a problem. Have sedation and throat spray take someone with you to escort you home.

Wishing you a positive outcome.
