Osphageal web

A recurrence of my thyroid problems began with difficulties swallowing which I put down to the growth of my thyroid nodules. I was also diagnosed with anaemia. I was suprised to find out that I have an osphageal web which occurs when you have been anaemic for some time. This causes me to have choking problems which isn't very convenient. Does anyone else have anaemia and this web?

I had never heard of it. So, on seeing your question, I looked it up.

Amazing.

I guess no-one else has it otherwise they would have responded?

Hope you are getting over your anaemia.
