Symptoms of Dysphagia
Individuals with dysphagia may experience symptoms such as choking or coughing while eating or drinking, regurgitation, unexplained weight loss, and a sensation of food getting stuck in the throat. Some individuals may also develop respiratory issues due to aspiration of food or liquid into the lungs.
In addition, it is crucial for individuals with dysphagia to maintain proper posture while eating and drinking, as well as to be mindful of the texture and consistency of their food and liquids to prevent choking or aspiration. It is crucial to recognize these symptoms and seek medical attention for proper diagnosis and management.
