A member asked:

Can the parathyroid gland have spasms?how can i stop the esophageal spasms?i have tried everything!now on omeprazole dr 40 mg! not working! even vomit

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not the parathyroid: The parathyroid does not have spasms. It makes parathyroid hormone fairly continuously, and that controls your blood calcium. If ca is normal, no need to worry about parathyroid. It sounds like you have rather bad esophageal reflux, and perhaps you should see a gastroenterologist.
