Can I post about medical issues on this board? I have suffered from Dysphagia for the last few years and it is only getting worse. Whenever I drink liquids/eat food it doesn't make it's way down to my stomach and lately I spit it back up while eating. I feel like this is going to kill me soon.

I have had an assortment of different tests from a barrium swallow to an endoscopy, I've seen ENTs, psychologists, psychiatrists and the list goes on.

The thing is I've yet to receive a solid answer from any medical professional as to what is causing this. I also get involuntary movements in my hands, legs, arms like tremors and I believe these things are connected/related to my throat/swallowing issues somehow.

The next person I've been referred to is a speech pathologist but I have yet to make an appointment because I resigned to the fact that nobody is going to tell me what the hell is going on or how/if it can be treated.

I am scared this thing is going to kill me very soon and I don't know I'm just looking for advice or if anyone else has suffered dysphagia.

dysphagia can a symptom of serious brain stem disorders, but in your case it's clear that there's nothing wrong with your body and you should just take your meds schizo

Because they probably don't know. And it's not important anyway. Dysphagia can be caused by a million things and it really doesn't matter which of those things it is.
Your speech pathologist is going to train you on swallowing techniques that will help you keep food down. That's absolutely an important appointment to make. If that fails then maybe they'll start looking into underlying conditions as a possibility.
