Dysphagia Dysphagia presents in those diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma, the most common form of mesothelioma cancer. Since the mesothelium of the lungs is affected during the progression of the disease, individuals have difficulty breathing and swallowing.s the carcinogenesis of the mesothelium progresses, pressure in the chest builds up which causes individuals to have difficulty breathing. Specifically, the expanding mesothelium places pressure on the esophagus, restricting breathing. From this, difficulty regulating breath leads to difficulty regulating swallowing.

- Within 3 days of stroke, 42–67% of patients present with oropharyngeal dysphagia—making stroke the leading cause of dysphagia. Among these patients, 50% aspirate and one-third develop pneumonia that requires treatment [4]. The severity of the dysphagia tends to be associated with the severity of the stroke. Dysphagia screening in stroke patients is critical in order to prevent adverse outcomes related to aspiration and inadequate hydration/nutrition [5]. Up to 50% of Parkinson patients show some symptoms consistent with oropharyngeal dysphagia, and up to 95% are found to have abnormalities on video esophagography [6,7].

Overview Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) means it takes more time and effort to move food or liquid from your mouth to your stomach. Dysphagia may also be associated with pain. In some cases, swallowing may be impossible. Occasional difficulty swallowing, which may occur when you eat too fast or don't chew your food well enough, usually isn't cause for concern. But persistent dysphagia may indicate a serious medical condition requiring treatment. Dysphagia can occur at any age, but it's more common in older adults. The causes of swallowing problems vary, and treatment depends on the cause.

Dysphagia (Difficulty Swallowing) If dysphagia is associated with aspiration of food into the lungs, aspiration pneumonia may occur with all of the symptoms of pneumonia (fever, chills, and respiratory distress). If there is aspiration of food (most common with liquids), swallows may induce coughing due to entrance of the liquid into the voice box (larynx) at the top of the trachea or into the lungs. 2  If solid food becomes lodged in the lower throat, it may induce choking and gagging and interfere with breathing.
