do you have gastric reflux? I am asking because I have very bad reflux the specialist said, told me to lose weight (everyone's answer for the answers they don't have these days) there's no more he can do. I have the same problem of swallowing and sometimes almost choking which I guess I make worse by panicking.

I have the same issue...I did a Barium swallow and it showed I have scar tissue in my esophagus. The next step is there going to do and endoscopy with a balloon on the end and blow it up as to stretch my esophagus. If this doesn't work for a reasonable amount of time they are gonna put stints in.

I do have trouble swallowing, mostly foods but on occasion liquid - but it is connected with having MS I've been told, but since I've had the issue since I was 12 and its only gotten worse the older I've gotten and my mom had it to the point her throat closed up fully so she had to live with a g-tube just to survive I don't know what to think atm.
