Serious Symptoms Of Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP)

Difficulty Swallowing

Dysphagia is a term used to describe when an individual is not able to move food from their mouth to their esophagus (swallow) properly. Swallowing requires the collaboration and cooperation of numerous brain tissues, nerves, and muscles to carry out properly. Individuals affected by chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy may experience difficulty swallowing regularly. This problem can manifest in several ways, such as an inability to get liquid and food to go down the esophagus on the first try, the regurgitation of food or liquid after swallowing, unintentional weight loss from lack of proper nutrition, gagging when swallowing, choking when swallowing, and coughing when swallowing. The nerves that move the muscles responsible for contracting and forcing food and liquid down the throat can become damaged by CIDP, causing patients to have difficulty swallowing.
