A doctor has provided 1 answer

Regurgitation: Your symptom is regurgitation and likely due to esophageal dysmotility. If persistent, obstruction should be ruled out with a barium swallow or endoscopy. While a tumor is in the differential diagnosis. a motility disorder or diverticulum is more likely, especially if you're a non-smoker and at your age.
