Dysphagia (swallowing problems)
Dysphagia is a medical condition characterized by difficulty swallowing or the sensation of food getting stuck in the throat or chest. It can occur at any stage of the swallowing process, from moving food from the mouth to the throat (oral dysphagia) to passing food through the esophagus to the stomach (esophageal dysphagia). Dysphagia can affect people of all ages and may result from various underlying causes, ranging from temporary conditions to chronic diseases.
