I need to look up this gag/swallow reflex test. I have Achalasia that impacts my ability to swallow properly. Swallowing is an autonomic response. I have no control over it and had pneumatic dilation to treat it. Years later it has links to autoimmune issues. I also had lymphoma at a statistical odd age and presentation. Today I have unspecified nerve damage assumed to be from chemo but to me it feels like my body just does not like my body so it creates pain.

Chemo induced neuropathy is not uncommon. I'd hope your doctor warned you about that potential. In many people it goes away over time, in others it does not.
