Hi, can gerd cause esophageal dysmotility? i dont mean achalasia or sclerodermia. only gerd (les 3mmhg). i have both and non specific. thanks

They go together: Your les (lower esophageal sphincter) is hypotensive. The pressure is too low. Normally it should be above 10mmhg. Therefore acid from the stomach can freely go up to your esophagus and therefore gerd. If your physician told you that rest of manometry was unremarkable, you may still have scleroderma. Some foods and medications can decrease the les pressure. Achalasia has a high les pressure.
