Summary
Cedar 63832 has had trouble swallowing since COVID at age 25: liquids go down too quickly and cause choking, so only food of a certain consistency is manageable. The problem comes and goes; a dilation of the oesophagus helped for a while but the symptom always returns. Now 27, they say doctors dismiss it as anxiety and do not take it seriously because they are too young.
