What Causes Dysphagia With Swelling In The Throat?
It feels like it s swollen somewhere in the back of my throat - like I need to keep swollowing but it doesn t go away. I have had ongoing sinus problems, but at the moment there isn t any infection. I am 59 years old, 5 6 , weight 215lbs - have never smoked. I am in relatively good health only on high blood meds. Just got tested for thyriod - negative, mono - negative. You can t see anything when you look at my throad.

Hello,
Possibility of an adenoid or any other lump behind the throat must be ruled out. Consult an ENT specialist and get evaluated. An indirect laryngoscopy is required for further assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr. Shinas Hussain
