A member asked:

Dysphasia that is fixed with nexium (esomeprazole) yet endoscopy shows healthy non erosive esophagus and biopsies were negative for all tests? what could cause this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

GERD +/- Dysmotility: Difficulty swallowing ("dysphagia") can be distinguished as a "transfer" problem (difficulty moving food from mouth to top of esophagus), "transit" problem (difficulty moving food down the esophagus), "spasm", gerd (due to sphincter problems), or obstructive (webs, rings, strictures, ulcer, tumor). Best to see a gastroenterologist (gi doctor) for evaluation and treatment.
