Struggles swallowing

Female, 29

Hi all,

It’s not a big deal, but I am very curious about what can be the cause and if I can get some help

Sometimes I am having troubles swallowing, either food or drink. Like my mouth is full and my brain just block my throat and I have to concentrate or tilt my head or doing something else that triggers it. It's stressful because food can start to go down my throat without me being able to swallow.

I know some people who can experience it but only for a specific thing like swallowing pills.

For me it becomes more and more frequent to the point that I am sometimes unable to eat outside, because yes it happens more likely when I am not at home or with people around me.

My mom also have that, she never talked about it and I never had that growing up

Is it only psychological or related to ENT ?

Thank you!!
