Symptoms of DYSPHAGIA
Symptoms of dysphagia include pain with swallowing and a feeling that food gets stuck in the throat. These symptoms may progress over several weeks. Choking or regurgitation of food can occur. There may be pain, pressure or discomfort in the chest. If dysphagia leads to aspiration, some of the materials in the mouth or esophagus may gain access to the lungs. This will lead to infections with cough, fever, chest pain and productive sputum.
