I’ve had swallowing issues for around 4–5 years, but recently had a couple worse episodes so I’m trying to figure out what’s going on.
Main symptoms:
Food (especially bread/meat) feels like it gets stuck in my throat/chest
I often have to swallow hard or double swallow
Water usually helps
Liquids are normally fine
Chips are usually fine too

A few worse episodes:

Food stuck for 10–20 seconds
One episode where even water wouldn’t go down for about 1–2 minutes and came back up
I could still breathe, but it felt tight/panicky until it passed

I also get:

A feeling like a burp is trapped after eating
Pressure in my chest/throat after meals
Feeling like I can’t get a full deep breath sometimes
Breathing sensation is worse when I focus on it, better when distracted or exercising

Tests so far:

ENT scope → normal

Swallow study → normal

Endoscopy (EGD) → showed mild LA Grade A esophagitis (acid-related inflammation in lower esophagus), no bleeding, stomach and small intestine normal

They also took biopsies to check for things like EoE

GI started me on omeprazole/Prilosec 20 mg daily.

Has anyone had something similar where mild reflux/esophagus inflammation caused swallowing issues like this? Or did it end up being something like EoE/anxiety/esophageal spasms?
