Danger : This could be a serious sign. Very important that you see a doctor soon and undergo an upper endoscopy. This could be a sign of cancer. Also strictures can form from chronic inflammation. Please see a doctor soon.

Motility disorder: You may have a motility disorder, or uncoordinated movement of the muscles of the esophagus. You may need an upper GI contrast study, high resolution esophageal manometry, a ph study and upper endoscopy to get a full anatomic and physiologic picture of your esophagus and stomach, along with the valve between the two. See a gastroenterologist or surgeon with experience in anti- reflux procedures.
