Thank you for the information. I have been having trouble swallowing. Food or water will go half way down and then stop. Pain is bad. It will slowly relax and go down. They talked about it.
🥰 for the information.

Oh no!!
I sure hope you don't have Esophageal Lichen Planus!!
I recommend you see an excellent Gastroenterologist.
I had a scope put down my esophagus, under anesthesia. I had a few biopsies done. The pathology confirmed Esophageal Lichen Planus.
I caution you if you're having things getting stuck in your esophagus.
Choking is a serious concern & danger of this disease! You could aspirate the food into your lungs!!!
Again, I sure hope you don't have ELP!!
Keep me posted if you like!
Take care ❣️

There are other reasons for that type of proble. My family has four generations of it. My brother has had his esophagus stretched a few times.
Another reason is achalasia
