Endoscopy done for severe pain in chest/upper stomac. biopsied 1cm nodule in stomach and have spastic esophagus. what causes this ? 45 yrs old.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain: One cause to be considered is reflux esophagitis which can be treated with appropriate ppi therapy.Also to be considered is esophagesl motility disorders such as achalasia and diffuse esophageal spasm which are also readily ttreated.I would suggest you have an esophageal motility study and or a pH monitiring study which can diferentiate these disorders.
