Accepted Answer

: You can read more from this link, please scroll down to the section treatment Q&amp;A - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2950665/ - Good luck!

Question 2

can esophageal hypersensitivity cause motility issues or do they have no correlation? esophagram showed the primary peristalsis of my esophagus is impaired?

Accepted Answer

: No, esophageal sensitivity has no correlation with esophageal motility. Primary peristalsis is swallowed-induced peristalsis which has no relationship to esophageal hypersensitivity. Please continue to follow with your gastroenterologist. Good luck.

Question 3

was dx with esophageal hypersensitivity that makes it hard to swallow. any lifestyle changes i can make to help this? nortriptyline helps but not much

Accepted Answer

Unclear on diagnosis: If you have a swallowing problem, you need to consult a GI doctor to find out the cause. If this is from a condition known as eosinophilic esophagitis, dietary changes may make a huge difference. If this condition is not controlled, it may lead to permanent obstruction of your esophagus.

Question 4

i am dealing with regurgitation bad. food keep coming up after i ate. i feel like the food is stuck. what can help with this? i was told that i have hypersensitivity esophagus as well?

Accepted Answer

: There are several syndromes that involve motility disorders of the esophagus which can cause the symptoms  you are describing. The most common is irritation of the esophagus from Gastroesophageal reflux disease (Gerd). You should follow anti-reflux precautions and be treated for acid reflux, as a start. You should see a gastroenterologist if your symptoms do not resolve. Good luck.

Question 5

what my mom said when i was born the doctor told her i have narrow esophagus. i am with kaiser i wonder why they didnt noticed it. i ate food and it comes back up. medicine dont work. i was told i have hypersensitivity esophagus. what can be done?

Accepted Answer

: I am not sure if it was true what your pediatrician told your mom . For the current symptom, your Kaiser primary care team should refer you to a GI doctor for further investigation if it has not been done. I do not believe the diagnosis of "hypersensitivity esophagus".

Question 6
