Xray video swallow with esophagram for ues stricture and dysphagia. what do results indicate? the cervical esophagus is normal. the thoracic esophagus is anatomically normal. the primary peristalsis of the thoracic esophagus is impaired?

Your results mean that the esophagus located in your chest region is not moving properly. You should follow up with your GI doctor to find out what this means and how to best treat it. Best of luck to you!

You have an esophageal motility disorder. I agree that a consultation with a gastroenterologist is in order.
