More testing needed: Other issues may be involved such as esophageal spasm, achalasia, or scleroderma just to name a few. Additional testing with esophageal manometry, 24 hr pH study may be of benefit. You may also want to try taking a ppi i.e. Nexium (esomeprazole) twice a day to see if that would help.
