Hello,
Many causes for dysphagia? Until examination, it is difficult to say what is the cause for dysphagia. How old are you? Since when you are suffering from dysphagia? Acid reflux, diffuse esophageal spasm, pharyngitis, achalasia cardio, and cancer esophagus is the common causes of dysphagia. Please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
