The main symptoms are choking on swallowing and possible vomiting. Hence, the need is as follows:

- Barium swallow studies for throat and esophagus.
- Being a female pernicious anemia can the similar symptoms. Hence a proper diagnosis alone can guide for the most appropriate management.
- Symptomatic treatment with a PPI like Omeprazole, antacid and Domperidone may help.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
