Question

What are the symptoms of an esophageal stricture?

Answer 1

An esophageal constriction may cause:

• Burning sensation in the neck or throat.
• Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia).
• Feeling of food getting stuck in your throat.
• Frequent episodes of choking.

Talk to a healthcare provider if you experience any of these symptoms. Strictures can lead to malnutrition and dehydration. Your provider can figure out what’s causing the strictures, so you get the right treatment and feel better.
