A member asked:
Can esophageal hypersensitivity cause motility issues or do they have no correlation? esophagram showed the primary peristalsis of my esophagus is impaired?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, esophageal sensitivity has no correlation with esophageal motility. Primary peristalsis is swallowed-induced peristalsis which has no relationship to esophageal hypersensitivity. Please continue to follow with your gastroenterologist. Good luck.
