307- The Curious Case of Functional Dysphagia: What to do when the swallow looks fine, but doesn’t feel fine.
You know when a patient complains about swallowing difficulty and you do an instrumental, but everything looks fine?
Excuse my lack of eloquence here, but…what the heck?
This is often referred to as functional dyspahgia, and in this week’s episode of The Swallow Your Pride Podcast, I had the absolute joy of talking about it with Jaimie Anderson MS, CCC-SLP, BC-ANCDS.
Together we discuss the challenges that come with significant swallowing complaints that don’t align with swallow studies, what functional dysphagia is, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options. Jaimie even throws in an analogy to help us better understand this mystery.
Tune in and let us know what you think!
