People knew I had trouble swallowing for 20+ years. Everyone thought I was just a slow eater. I would choke and vomit if trying to keep up with everyone.

[ApexLaneProductions]

Every time I have ever brought these issues up to a doctor, they just make assumptions (without any diagnostics) as to the cause and just prescribe meds, which I refuse to take because I don't want to deal with side effects, especially if there's no concrete evidence suggesting any root cause. I've lived with this for almost 20 years. How can I be seen by someone who will take this seriously enough to actually investigate what's going on?

[sanasheikh]

I had swallowing problem for the past 4 years. Went to gastroenterologist and ent also did barium swallow which was normal. Then I went to the best ENT doctor of my country and it shows that I had pharynx tissue increased along with tonsil and other types of infection kind of thing.

3:52 the one time I was actually expecting one of the fart sound bites to play lol

[mikepurewal]

Thanks for the great video, which city are you located in?

[artmonkey]

Can you please talk about and acknowledge eosinophilic esophagitis? This is often underdiagnosed and is important to spread information on it. It's especially important to ask the patients if they have any allergic comorbidities. The first GI misdiagnosed me until the second GI found my EOE. I have eczema and allergic rhinitis, this all should've been considered in my differential diagnosis.

Thank you for sharing. I m going thru this.

I've been suffering from strictures for a long time now, and im on my 4th or 5th dilation, get your Reflux undercontrol, its not good

[HUSSAINALI-qgkx]

I m a 40 year old housewife having the problem of dysphagia as well as dysphonia for the last six months...i m fed through a pheg tube direct to stomach... When I started Physiothraphy exercises for recovery prescribed by my Neurophysican.. But as soon as I started exercising I succumbed to Bell's palsy... I have become so weak that my weight has reduced from 56 kg to 34 kg.... I use following medicine...
Revotril
Tegral
Luner
Mtaze
Tryptano
Celeron syrup... etc..
My question to you is whether I can be recovered or not as I have lost all hopes and my health deteriorating day by day... Plz direct me the right way to get out of this trauma... Thanks

[kiwipics]

OGDs aren't done under general anesthesia in the UK .. You are awake.
Dilation is a temporary measure ... Not permanent.
I have 2 strictures, 1 diverticulum and 3 inches of non functioning oesophagus at the GI junction Nothing has been done surgically in 5 years, and I had a Fundoplication performed in 2012.

[nataliebussell]

What about if you ONLY have trouble swallowing liquids and when it goes down the wrong tube you have full on laryngospasms? Like throat completely closes up for a minute or two? My PCP acts like I’m crazy.

[tahjesue-johnson]

I have a hiatal hernia but the doctors said it so small I don’t need surgery could that be a cause of and issue

[bernadettederry]

I have Spina Bifida which causes my Dysphagia I was diagnonsed about 5 or 6 years ago. Spinal Cord injuries are another cause. In my case that what it is.

[carminefriendly]

Dr sameer, I have been eating soup for soon 8 years now, I´ve been doing all test you can imagine, doctors I met never encountered a patient as me in their career. Every soup meal takes atlas on hour. I eat that for 6 hours every day. My food pipe is very weak, my esophagus feel like 5% strong. I´ve seen my life get torned apart. Please can you help me?

[ericsaltonstall]

I have cricopharyngeal bar/muscle dysfunction. I didn't hear about that here.

[HaleyCamille]

I just recently have had this feeling of something being caught in my throat feeling like I’m not able to swallow properly and also I having chest pain and back pain and sometimes lightheadedness. Should I go see a doctor?

[smittylikesto]

i was eating almonds last night and a piece got stuck somewhere. it stopped bothering me after like 10 minutes. now, the next day, it is itching like crazy when i shallow.

[subbaiahganesan]
