How old is ur mom? You said the doc said she has a block in between her esophagus and stomach.. what did he say about that or does he have any plans of treating it? Sometimes, the esophagus tends to constrict and causes for someone to have a hard time swallowing (dysphagia).. This isn't a good thing as it would cause someone to be prone to choking.. Sometimes doctors perform a procedure where he actually dilate the esophagus. I would suggest that you get a follow-up appt with a Gastroenterologist for ur mom. Hope this helps.
God bless, Godspeed and good luck, Gudy!
All the best,
Sam
