What Causes Hardness In Throat ?
Hi, I have a problem with my throat.It feels like something is stuck in the throat even though I can drink and breathe normally.I cannot eat any "hard" food anymore such as meat, pasta, rice etc. at the moment I'm living of yoghurt and soup only. Doctors have been looking down my throat and feeling the throats movement when I swallow, but found nothing wrong at all, I get a terrible anxiety feeling in my chest because of this and i want to know what it is now! please Help

Difficulty in swallowing to solids usually indicate mechanical obstruction.A barium swallow might help you to rule out any pathology.
