Difficulty swallowing food/tablet
I am having difficulty swallowing food for the past few days. Even soft food like watermelon feels stuck in my lower throat/neck area. I am also unable to swallow tablets. However, I can drink water without any problem. Sometimes it gives me a choking feeling and I feel anxious like I might not be able to breathe. What could be the cause and what should I do next?
