Cant swallow

I cant swallow solid foods, and I can only swallow fluids with a thin straw. Once I get the food past the back of my mouth it goes down fine ,its getting it past the top of my tongue that is the problem. I do not have a lump feeling at all. I get speach problems and my vision has gotten worse. I also get dizzy. I have ear aches and lose the hearing in my left ear. Is there any one out there with the same symptoms and if so what have they been told?

Hi,
How are you?How long have you been experiencing these symptoms? You may benefit from an ENT consult to determine the underlying cause. Direct clinical examination and additional tests such as imaging studies of the structures involved in the neck may help. Dizziness is often associated with a variety of conditions such as anemia, low blood sugar or pressure and other medical issues. Take care and do keep us posted.
