You are wise to rule out any serious cause by getting tested. That's

the first step. Swallowing problems are common in PWCs. It is

neurological in origin if you are having trouble swallowing liquids.

Also, this causes esophageal spasms, which are quite painful and make it

impossible to eat or drink and can make breathing difficult and

uncomfortable.

My G.I. doc told me to take pills only with food, never with liquid. He

also told me that to prevent choking on liquids to be sure my head is

tipped down when swallowing. It's how stroke patients with swallowing

problems are treated. It works like a charm for me.

For the esophageal spasms I use a certain type of meditation and it

often helps relieve the spasms.
