Recognizing the Silent Symptoms of Tardive Dyskinesia

4. Swallowing Difficulties

Another silent symptom is difficulty swallowing or a feeling of throat constriction. Known as dysphagia, this symptom might manifest as frequent throat clearing, coughing while eating, or feeling that food gets "stuck." This can sometimes be mistaken for a mild cold or sore throat, yet it can interfere with normal eating patterns over time, potentially leading to nutritional concerns.
