What Causes Discomfort In Swallowing?
Recently I have had trouble swallowing and keeping my food down. It feels as though every time eat something is stuck behind the trachea between where the two clavicles meet and up above the adam's apple. I have had bulimia for 4 years now. I was wondering what you thought this problem could be.

Hello,
You should get your haemoglobin done .
If you had bulemia you might be having low iron levels in the body and so anaemia.
If there is iron deficiency then there is difficulty in swallowing and the complaints you are talking about.
In doubt do reply.
