2. Difficulty swallowing

Difficulty swallowing may seem like a very superficial discomfort, but it can indicate health issues that can range from mild to severe conditions. 

Difficulty swallowing can be indicative of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, throat infections, neurological disorders such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple sclerosis, among many others. 

If you experience this symptom, check in with a doctor to investigate the cause, especially if it is accompanied by pain, weight loss, regurgitation, or other symptoms.
