? No surgery: Based on the findings: hypothesize les normal relaxation means that you are likely to get occasional symptoms of heart burn or reflux but the lower esophageal sphincter relaxes as needed- good news. The severe smooth muscle dysfunction can occasionally be seen in people with chagas' disease. This is seen more in asiatic region. This means that your ability to swallow solid foods is diminished.
