I had ask a similar question before but I think wasn't clear enough. in the last 5 days I started to get stomach pain & cramps and sharp back pain when I swallow food. taking a sip of water helps with the feeling like the food is getting stuck. the pain only occurs when the food is being swallow, and not after I eat. I think its getting better with time but I'm not if it go away. I think I will see a doctor soon, but someone online told me most likely all the doctor will do is schedule me for testing a another week. I really want to know what are symptoms of since none of my symtoms don't match any illness 100%.
Please don't panic, but difficulty in swallowing is a symptom of cancer. You need to see a doctor or a gastroenterologist to rule out anything serious. It could be heartburn that has irritated your esophagus. I am having a procedure on Monday where the doc goes down my throat with a scope to check on my esophagus. It isn't as bad as it sounds, although it is no picnic. Please get checked out soon.
