Swallowing difficulties

Hi I’m a speech pathologist and speech pathologists deal with swallowing disorders (dysphagia). That’s mostly what I deal with at my job. Has your GI doctor done a full work-up? If not, he should. The burning you feel could be caused by reflux due to GERD. There is medication for this. Also I would suggest you have a modified barium swallow study, which is an easy non-invasive procedure. Also see an ENT who should do endoscopy to view your throat. Let me know how it goes!

I am having endoscopy on October 14 at Mayo. Really looking forward to answers. Thank you so much for your informative and thoughtful response.
