Esophageal Spasm- help?

[tintan5]

I have a problem  which is called Esophageal Spasm, which whenever I eat anything, the food stays in my esophaugus and doesn't go down to my stomach so, I can feel it that food doesn't reach to the end which is my stomache so, my doctor gave me Procardia 60 mg and it didn't help and this time He gave me Procardia 90 mg, to see maybe higher dosage will help and today I am starting it for 1 month (once a day) and He told me if it didn't help , He has to use a Baloon Dialations to open up the spasm in my esophagus and it my take me couple of times to try to see the result, and I have to add this that it's been 1 year that I took my Gullbladder out and I asked him, it's maybe the side effect of not having a Gullbladder and he said for sure NO. It has nothing to do with it So, could you tell me what should I do?  Is there anything I can do? Pls help me. Thanks a Million

I have a Problem is called Esophygeal Spasm which whenever I eat any kind of food, my food gets stuck in my esophugus and doesn't go down to my stomach and I am taking procardia 90 mg and if it doesn't help, My doctor is going to use a Ballon Dilations to open up the spasm, I really don't know what to do, Any one knows anything regarding this problem PLS, write something I've never seen or heard anything like this problem in my entire life, so PLS give me some informations or anything THANKS  A MILLLLLIIIIOOOON.

For 4 years I had nausea and vometing and I went to different doctors and they didn't know what was wrong and finally one of them told me that it's my Gallbladder and I did a Hida scan test and showed that my Gallbladder is not functioning right and my Doctor told me I have to take it out and I did so, it's been 1 year that I took it out and after that I don't have vometing and nausea and I am ok, but I do have another problem that whenever I eat any kind of food, food gets stuck in my esophus and doesn't go down to my stomach and after going to different doctors and different test my doctor told me I have Esophgeal Spasm and I took lots of medicatons and they didn't help and now I have to do Ballon Dilations to open up the spasm anyone knows anything regarding this problem PLS Let me know, Thanks allloooootttt.  GOD BLESS EVERYONE

Hi tintan, my husband has the same problem.  It is very, very hard to treat.  He feels so much pain when he eats that he makes himself vomit--he says that's the only way he can relieve the pain.  Now he's on a liquid diet--he drinks protein shakes and eats things like yogurt, soup and farina.  That usually helps him for a while.

We are on the third gastro doctor for this problem. Nothing they give him helps much.  The acid reflux medicine helps a bit.

Actually I don't have nausea or any other pain in my stomach the only problem that I have is that food gets stuck in my esophaugus and doesn't go down other than that I don't have any problem so that's why I have this Esophgeal Spasm, because of the spasm the food in the tube doesn't go down so, before my Gallbladder I had nausea and vometing and pain on my right side but after my Gallbladder removal I dont have those symptoms at all so, this is my only problem that whatever I eat I don't feel it that food goes down it stays on my chest so could you tell me what to do thank you so much. GOD Bless You All.

the pain your having after the gullbladder out is usualy got to go with a stone being left behind in the duct connected to your pancreas.
people also get phantom pain after removal,,,so if you are still getting the pain like gullbladder problems and you dont have one,,there prob. blaming it on esophigeal spasms now,and thats prob. not your problem at all.
do you still get pain in your upper stomach area,radiating to your back,,,nausia exct?
