The risk factors for dysphagia are smoking, obesity, pregnancy, hiatal hernia, scleroderma, alcohol consumption, consuming drinks that contain caffeine, and medications. Medications include anticholinergics, beta blockers, bronchodilators, calcium channel blockers, dopamine-active drugs for Parkinson's disease, progestin for abnormal menstrual bleeding or birth control, sedatives for insomnia or anxiety, and tricyclic antidepressants.
