A member asked:

Does alchalasia commonly cause tracheobronchial aspiration where food & liquid go in the lungs? can it happen everytime after eating? i have a hard time breathing after i eat and sometimes get a little dizzy?

Achalasia could make you prone to food and liquids getting into your lungs. Please see a doctor as achalasia can be treated with balloon dilatation and may not require surgery. Wish you good health!
