Can you die from esophageal achalasia?

If left untreated: A person could die from untreated achalasia due to starvation, aspiration pneumonia or chocking on the contents accumulated in the esophagus.

Unlikely: This disease doesn't cause immediate death like a heart attack or stroke can, nor does it destroy organs like cancer. If it prevents you from eating however, it is possible to die from starvation, but this woul extraordinarily rare where access to good quality medical is available.
