Re: Small dots of blood in the morning and food getting stuck

I'm really sorry to hear about your diagnosis of breast cancer, but I'm glad you're on the forums because we can all offer you support where possible.
Only because of your recent diagnosis of breast cancer, is the reason I think you should run this past your GP or even your nurse specialist.
The swallowing issue you describe sounds exactly like something I get - and have done since I was a teenager. Basically, I'd swallow and it feels like the food slows down, only to move again by itself or with another "swallow". I work at a Cancer Centre and I can say when there's something blocking the gullet, the "presentation" is a lot more dramatic than which you describe.
I vomited blood a few weeks ago. It wasn't just a "streak" or a clot, but vomit the colour of blood. So it was rather an extensive bleed and there was no mistaking it. (Public Service Announcement for anyone reading this in the future, worrying about vomiting blood: there's NO mistaking it when it happens, so if you have to Google "what does vomited blood look like", you have not vomited blood). (I've since developed classic stomach ulcer symptoms, so I'm being treated as such and I'm happy with that dx). Sorry for digressing, but the blood you describe sounds like simple throat irritation - I have never heard of anything sinister presenting as a dot or two of blood.
I'm not a doctor, so you're best to run these things past your GP or specialist nurse, but I'm very sure you have nothing to worry about. It's also worth noting that there are many medications which you're potentially on which could be causing your symptoms... Hence why this is better dealt with by your GP/nurse.
But please keep us posted and I hope I've been able to offer you reassurance in the interim
Good luck
