Do you have problems swallowing?

Swallowing difficulties can be really frustrating, especially when they seem to change with fatigue or throughout the day. It may be helpful to keep track of other symptoms as well, such as dizziness, changes in heart rate, or blood-pressure fluctuations, and discuss the overall pattern with a healthcare professional.

I have had problems swallowing for many years and now that my jaw muscles are giving me problems it is much worse. I try to eat things that require the least amount of chewing or no chewing. That is not perfect because I still struggle with choking. I have an awful time with spaghetti noodles getting stuck and not being able to choke them back up. I also struggle with liquids going down the wrong pipe when I drink out of a glass. I try to use a cup with a straw which is only slightly better but my mouth muscles struggle forcing me to take short drinks much more often.

I have an area right by my adams apple that causes coughing choking and it feels like it is forever clogged. I can feel drainage almost constantly and when it gets a little bit enflamed I struggle to breath, and I can cough for hours on end. I have found no relief. During my my 17 hour visit to the emergency Room Friday into Saturday for breathing issues and severe weakness a nurse gave me a Lidocaine mouth wash so I could get through 45 minutes of MRI for brain cervicle Spine with and without the dye without coughing. I just made it out when the cough started again. The only thing that worried me was choking on the drainage since I couldn't feel it. I survived.

I experience shortness of breath, double vision, weakness in right arm and hand. Dizziness, weakness in thigh muscles and walks with a wide gait holding on to anything I can.
