Gary, I'm sorry to hear that you're not feeling well and are having problems swallowing. Hopefully your doctor can find out what's causing this and will be able to help you.

I had gastritis earlier this year and I would get a burning sensation and severe stomach pain. It was caused by taking pain meds that irritated my stomach lining. I hope that you don't have anything serious. You'll be in my prayers. Please keep us updated and take care of yourself.
