The upper and lower parts hurt all the time . I've had tests done in PA ( my own process of elimination , Achalasia,Ear nose and throat ) all test were negative . Last year my son took me to NJ and then I found out my Esophagus was swollen with severe inflammation meanwhile I've been in pain for 2yrs. I don't suffer from gerd or acid reflux but PA was trying to treat me for it 😲 I have no life , my anxiety is way up and I get migraines . Feels like I'm walking around carrying 50lbs around my neck . 😭
I pray things are better for you in Jesus' name. AMEN. I pray your strength in the Lord in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ of NAZARETH. The name above ALL names. AMEN. Be led by the spirit of God on how to deal with this and as to what hospital or doctor you should seek.
I get painful spasms when carbonated drinks are swallowed and sometimes when I want to burb. It hurts like hell. Been struggling with this for about 10-15 years now. Going to have a barium swallow tomorrow, because I've been having problems the past week swallowing solids and liquids. Cannot belch, and when I do, it hurts the same as the spasms when drinking fizzy drinks. Great video this.
Getting ready to have the P.O.E.M surgery, this explains a lot and helps me to understand my options. I had the Botox once but prefer the surgery for a longer term cure.
Thank you. I'm a Cleveland Clinic patient recently diagnosed with Jackhammer esophagus. I'd never heard of it before. During the monametry the nurse actually said wow, hehe. I have no gerd, or very infrequently, and it is easily controlled with an antacid(calcium) tablet. I do have severe, extreme esophageal pain on swallowing, liquid/solid,hot/cold,dry/moist doesn't seem to be factors. From just below my adams apple, to just about the bottom of my breastbone. It does not happen every swallow, but it does happen every day. The pain is intense and excruciating, but thankfully usually lasts less than 2 minutes that actually feel like about 2 hours. Scoped twice, all good. Weight loss is hard to explain. I'm usually only willing to go through 1 heart attack per meal, if I get a second, well it's just not worth eating or drinking at that point.
@@Jana-ne6km I have been on Tofrinil (imipramine) for 2 years or so now. It is an anti-anxiety pill that has an off-label effect. It reduces esophageal spasms. Started at 1/2 pill a day and quite literally cut the symptoms by half. Went up to a full pill everyday and it is actually working. At most I get spasm's maybe once every other month or so. Absolutely incredible difference. From daily spasm's to so infrequently that they are noteworthy when they happen. I don't think I've ever taken a drug that was so effective so quickly. I hope this helps.
My doctor / gastro specialist told me she hasn't been able to determine what is causing my problems . She has had 7 months to do so and still has no answer . Her last response was "sometimes these things happen and fix themselves" and gave me more pills ............ right on doc , good work ..... let's give up and not find a second opinion or try harder to figure it out ......... what a joke . I have dysphagia and trouble moving the food along it seems . I sometimes have some acid / heart burn too but apparently she cant find out whats wrong ... just wait for it to "fix itself"
yea its gr8 m8 im where u r 2 they are paid well to do a job that they just dont!-thanks doc. wait for the lies they start spinning thats a joke 2 good luck and i hope its not as long 4 u as it has been 4 me (6 years and going still)
I know this is an old conversation, but I want to ask everyone a question. My mom had/has achalasia, and I was wondering if any of you have a bedroom/ bed that is really close to a SMART METER on the house/apartment??? I believe and have a strong feeling that high radiation from the SMART METER may have played a roll in my mom losing the nerve function that helps swallow. I would be very grateful if you could tell me, I am asking everyone who has swallowing issues.
Also, nerves that die ARE POSSIBLE TO REGENERATE using oxygen therapy, or other supplements that restore nerves, such as PQQ, CDP Choline, Magnesium, etc....so many options, but oxygen therapy is BEST for restoring nerves. Please do not give up!
@debbiec6216 hiatal hernia is different thn EMD I took an upper GI test/barium swallow test, and my results came back under impression/findings it said I have GERD AND slow swallows and EMD and a few days later the doctor confirmed my diagnosis.
@debbiec6216 My symptoms are painful bloating, especially at night. I can't sleep, constantly regurgitate, and throwing up once in a while, especially when my stomach is empty, super nauseated, heart burns, and feeling full fast, and feeling as if food is stuck in the hit of my stomach.. slight cough at night, and constant cleaning my throat after eating... I dont get chest pain as that's one of the common symptoms people get.
@@marleanamarlianamont5939 I am so sorry you have to go through this. I really wished you was feeling 100% better. I get bloated and my stomach feels full fast . What I need to do is, find out how big my Hiatal Hernia in size .......I been taking Betaine HCL for acid reflux , Zinc Carnosine for Esophagus and Slippery Elm . Plus I take vitamin A, B1 and B12, Calcium, D3/K2, and vitamin "E" . It's been helping. I don't get heartburn either .
After 2 unsuccessful esophageal dilations, my (former) GI doctor told me "just try and control your stress". I found another GI doctor, and will have soon a peroral endoscopic myotomy...
I have been diagnosed with Gastro Esophageal Dismotility Disorder, i had a Botox injection to no avail lasted about a week or so i am weighing my options to dialation or Myotomy. I'm just not a fan of them shoving that tube down my throat LOL makes me gag.
@@summerbrown5420 Sorry it took so long! i ended up with having surgery where my sphincters' muscle was surgically replaced giving me 75% improvement i still regurgitate on some foods that are dry or stringy like pork and beef roasts and foods like breads pizza crusts etc...still give me difficulties.
I have a twisted Esophagus and the spasms are bad ,I find food comes out of my noise at night.Food sits in the esophagus and I brings my food and fluid up .i had barium and it was not emptying. What next?
good video. knowledge still needs updating though. unfortunately few doctors in the world know what's really going on. Gastro docs need to train harder than ever now, so many new symptoms presenting in the population. Causality is being further understood also, especially in the context of diet and the immune system.
Was recently diagnosed with Jackhammer Esophagus. Have chest pains that feel like I am having a heart attack and and nauseated 95% of the time. Had Motility Test to get these results. Not sure what to do next. LES problems I am told. Dr. is following me closely.
CURE! !!! This is amazing. I had this with chest pain. Raise your foods with MAGNESIUM (greens). . or a suppliment and it'll take care of itself. Look it up! Doctors are clueless. Went away in two days of suppliments for me. Cause could be not enough magnesium in the body. Also use Barley Powder for healing.
I have problems for several years and misdiagnosed. However I was finally given a name of my disorder which is Achalasia. I have been through many tests and even had the Botox injection once which worked for about one month. However now I am waiting to have my POEM surgery on February 16th. If you haven't been diagnosed and had a successful treatment, I would recommend you talk to your specialist about Achalasia.
I do not have the chest pains that feel like a heart attack anymore. I believe when I was having those pains is when the sphincter had spasms to the point of becoming so tight the food is not able to pass through anymore. When eating with this problem, the food moves down and sits in the esophagus just before entering into the stomach. Then the esophagus stretches from the food sitting there and also with the food there the phlegm glands produce more phlegm trying to move the food down into the stomach. The esophagus has no motility and then the food moves back up and appears to vomit back up.
I think it has something to do with the Fatty Liver. Take care of your liver and you will have great relief. There are many ways to help yourself as there is nothing in Allopathy for help
I also get these spasms. Especially when carbonated drinks are swallowed. It hurts like hell. Been struggling with this for about 10-15 years now.

Yep. I have been on suboxone for 3 years and have esophageal spasms, severe reflux and gerd, and am doing a barium swallow to figure out why meds aren’t working. It is crazy how bad gastro doctors are. They just don’t care to follow it though to a solution
@@IAMGiftbearer It's not "spoken about" widely, you have to do some research on medical studies/findings. About 20 years or so ago doctors discovered that nerves can regenerate with very high oxygen therapy. All professional football and basketball players, and Olympians, and some very GOOD doctors who care about healing and not just medicating have known and use hyperbaric oxygen treatments to restore nerve and brain trauma/disease, as well as recover muscle function very quickly (for athletes).
I've had chest pain for years and was never given a reason why. I recently got a soft diagnosis of slow esophageal motility.
I found this an excellent video as I've got these symptoms and had some of these tests. I'm waiting to see a specialist.

When you get spasm take one spoon of natural original hony mix it with cup of water and drink it it is very help .
