I have been recently diagnosed with MS. My question is does anybody have problems with swallowing? I have been having an issue with feeling like food or fluid isn't going down, like it gets stuck in my esophagus, I have to beat on my chest (right below my throat) until it feels like it goes down. I have had this going on for approx. 3 years and seems to be getting worse.
I have gotten pneumonia every year for the past three years along with bronchitis several times and a collapsed lung last year.
I have read that ms can cause problems swallowing but I am not sure if this could be the problem. I have a lesion on my cervical spine and 7 in my brain but I'm not sure if the location of any of these lesions could be the issue or if its something else entirely.
I have asked my gp and neurologist and both have pretty much ignored my question. However my gp did do a ct scan of my lungs and my lungs appeared to be normal.
Thank yo
