Dysphagia is where you have problems swallowing. Its usually caused by certain medicines or another condition, such as acid reflux or a stroke.
Red flags. Any dysphagia is of concern, but certain findings are more urgent: Symptoms of complete obstruction (eg, drooling, inability to swallow anything) Dysphagia resulting in weight loss.
Swallowing is a complex act that involves the coordinated activity of the mouth, pharynx, larynx and esophagus (Figure 1). A swallow has four phases: oral preparatory, oral propulsive, pharyngeal and esophageal.
In particularly severe cases, a person with dysphagia may not be able to safely swallow solids, liquids, or even their own saliva.
Dysphasia is usually a sign that there is a problem with your esophagus, the muscular tube that moves food and liquids from the back of your mouth to your stomach. If dysphagia is severe, you may not be able to take in enough fluids and calories to stay healthy. In severe cases, even saliva is difficult to swallow.
