A member asked:
What to do if i have an illness called achalasia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a G.I. doc: Achalasia is a disease resulting from damage to the nerves in the muscles of the lower esophagus, keeping them from being able to relax and making swallowing difficult. There is nothing you can do on your own to make this better. There are several medicinal, endoscopic, and surgical treatments available, which your G.I. doc can evaluate and go over with you. Do not delay. Good luck.
