Swallowing problem
My father has a Swallowing problem. Food is chowing. Surprisingly,it happens sometimes only not all times. Sonography normal. He is afraid of endoscopy. It has been for more than a year. Mostly happen during night meals and not happen everytime. He has been suffering from GERD since 3 decades. Could it be something serious? He is afraid for endoscopy because he thinks that it could turn out to be cancer. No pain only food gets stuck and not everytime
