There can be differential problems related to it. It might be a zenker's diverticulum or any posterior pharyngeal wall defect. Since your grandfather is an old person. This might go in favour of zenker's diverticulum. Or it might be problem of some esophageal defect. You need to consult an ent surgeon and then a gastroenterologist. Get an 24 hour ph monitoring also done.
