Difficulty swallowing increasing as day progresses and choking

Resolved question:
I have been experiencing difficulty swallowing for over five years. In the morning I am able to swallow liquids and some foods, but normally in the afternoon I can barely swallow anything. I have also been producing a lot of saliva (sometimes bubbly), and I have a choking sensation especially at night. I barely get enough sleep. I am a 27-year-old female. I am five feet tall, and my weight has dropped from 100 pounds to 85 pounds. Am I sick and is it serious? What can I do to fix this, because it is driving me crazy. I am afraid to eat, because I always experience choking.

Hello,

Thank you for asking your query at DoctorSpring.

Unfortunately I will not be of much help by online consultation. You will need evaluation from a Medical Gastroenterologist. There is no need for worry, but evaluation is warranted. You complete fee will be refunded.

Thank you.
