Guest guest Posted July 12, 1999 Report Share Posted July 12, 1999 Here is Dr. Crandall's info on this. Symptom: difficulty in swallowing, choking sensation, pain in the neck and chest. Cause: Esophageal Candidiasis. Candida esophagitis is a yeast infection of the mucosal lining of the swallowing tube (gullet). It causes pain and discomfort in the neck and chest when ingested food passes over the infected portion. Esophageal candidiasis is usually pseudomembranous, but when it is erythematous, it may not be recognized as a yeast infection because the typical white lesions are not seen during the endoscopy. Tissue redness could be caused by other infections or inflammatory conditions. Hope this helps.

My cousin had the swallowing problem you described and it was due to a thyroid condition. It would be a good idea if you have this checked out to be on the safe side.
