A member asked:
23 years old. have aperistalsis of esophagus-distal, middle, proximal.and gerd(0, 3 mmhg). but not achalasia and not scleroderma. what may be the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info: Any other related symptoms - how did you get this result in first place ? It's rare to have all part of esophagus not moving in young age without underlying problem but could induce by specific drugs as well. Was this measured by functional esophagography?
