Overview
Physical Examination
- The hallmark of [disease name] is [finding]. A positive history of [finding 1] and [finding 2] is suggestive of [disease name]. The most common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3].
- Symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3].
History
Asymptomatic in patients with small Zenker's diverticulum, the severity of the symptoms is proportional to the size of the diverticulum.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Common symptoms
Local pain
Food regurgitation
Less common symptoms
Pill dysphagia- pills stuck in the throat
Choking on the food
Weight loss
