I have trouble swallowing too sometimes and its not from any meds because it has happened when I've been on them and when I have been off them. It feels like I have a lump of goobers in my throat. I usually just drink a large amount of water very quickly and it kinda pushes it through. just a quick fix though, it'll always come back. I just chalked it up to Post-Nasal drip which I've had since I was a kid. who knows, maybe it is Fibro.

Mine throat muscles seem to stop mid swollow. I know it's the fibro

I have trouble swallowing sometimes! Didn't even consider it would be realated. I am on no meds for Fibro so it's not from meds. I have had Fibro for many years and had to give up on the synthetic pills, I don't tolerate them well, I take a holistic approach. Not being able to swallow is an odd feeling, almost panic stuck like feeling!

I just had my esophagus stretched for the 2nd time in about 5 years. You should probably see a Gastro Dr. I get pills stuck......then I have to eat bread or banana to un-stick it. Nobody else in my family has this problem so I have to think it's the Fibro.

@A MyFibroTeam Member, if it is that severe, I would ask your doctor if he would consider scheduling a swallowing test. My sister went through the same thing. I would also advocate and do the research beforehand and find some good medical websites with information about fibromyalgia. I'm almost positive that I have seen difficulty swallowing is a symptom/problem but it's been a long time since I've checked that. Google it fibromyalgia AND difficulty swallowing. I hope that helps!!!
