What can be done for oesophageal spasm..normal barium swallow...gastroscopy showed ulcers.
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Esophageal Spasm: The treatment depends on the diagnosis. In this case ulcers may be indicative of reflux which can be treated with either medical or surgical options. However, that alone is unlikely the cause and other etiologies should be for the spasm should be excluded.
