Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and wanted to pick your brains on a few things.
I’ve been dealing with this esophageal issue for a couple of years now. I have significant trouble swallowing—whether it’s solid food or something softer—and I can’t even manage to drink water normally. Once I hit a certain number of bites, everything seems to "pile up," triggering an intense spasm. I get this sharp pain in my chest, and my immediate fix is to chug three or four glasses of water as fast as possible just to force everything down. Once that happens, the discomfort finally subsides. I was wondering if there is anything specific you all would recommend trying, or if I should just go straight to a specialist. Thanks in advance.
