Bleeding into the Esophagus and Hoarseness
When blood from the esophagus goes through the digestive tract, it can turn stool black. Bloody vomit is also an indication of a bleeding esophagus. Excess loss of blood can lead to anemia, which makes a person feel tired or lazy.
The presence of a scratchy voice that cannot be treated with the usual procedures indicates esophageal cancer. This happens when the tumor invades the laryngeal nerve. A sensation of hoarseness is common in 25 percent of people that have been diagnosed with esophageal cancer: it exacerbates after eating and could be unrelated to eating. Loss of voice and a continuous need to clear your throat are also associated with chronic hoarseness, especially when there is no obvious diagnosis such as respiratory infection.
