I feel difficulty in swallowing. About 1 month ago it happened for the first time. After 2 3 days it has gone. But again after 1 month now I feel difficulty in swallowing (about 3-4 days. Its like the food is getting stuck in my throat. And obviously I have to drink water to swallow. Sometimes I feel this during dinner. Though in the lunch time it was okay that day. Nothing felt. Sometimes I feel that during lunch time also. It doesn't have any definite time. Is it something serious? Can you plzz help me to figure out?

Please do a endoscopic test to rule out any blockage in the food pipe. Take semiliquid food to avoid obstruction. Till the time report is available.
