• Dysphagia is a condition, which is caused due to
  a weakness or anomaly in one or more
  nerves/muscles that control all the sensations
  and movements that are required for swallowing
  and chewing.
• It can happen due to several reasons. Let us look
  at some of the main causes of dysphagia in adults

Result of a Stroke

• Yes, it is true that dysphagia may occur due to a
  stroke and can also affect as many as 65 of
  stroke patients. The elderly especially suffer
  from this type of dysphagia.

Acid Reflux Disease

• Acid reflux disease is another cause of
  dysphagia. People with the disease have issues in
  the esophagus, which can include ulcers,
  narrowing down of the esophagus or even a cancer
  that can lead to difficulty in swallowing. There
  are some specific antacid medicines, which can be
  used to treat this condition.

Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EE)

• This is a condition that affects young adults
  more frequently than others. The symptoms of this
  disorder are quite similar to the ones that are
  due to GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease). 

6
Neurological Problems 

• Different neurological disorders may cause damage
  to the brain and the nerves. As a result, it can
  affect the muscles in the mouth and throat due to
  weak coordination. Hence, when adults start to
  chew or swallow food, it can lead to choking,
  coughing and in severe conditions, it can also
  lead to a type of pneumonia known as aspiration
  pneumonia and needs the best dysphagia treatment.

Radiotherapy

• Sometimes radiotherapy treatment can lead to scar
  tissues. This can narrow down the passageway in
  the throat and the esophagus and therefore, leads
  to swallowing difficulties.

Myasthenia Gravis

• Myasthenia Gravis is a rare condition, which can
  lead the muscles to become weak.
