Difficulty eating

It is a common symptom of esophageal disease. It refers to a symptom that hinders the transportation of food from the mouth to the stomach. Under normal circumstances, it takes about 6 to 60 seconds for the food to pass from the mouth through the esophagus to the stomach. If you find that the food does not reach the stomach smoothly, the dwell time in the esophagus is prolonged, and the symptoms of obstruction occur. This makes it difficult for patients to eat.
