Some people have had achalasia develop very quickly like your symptoms. It

would be good to rule out pseudoachalasia. An x-ray and a manometry test

would help you confirm what you have.

Many of us have good days and bad days. If you still have days without

symptoms you are doing better than many. Often, good days are just days

where the symptoms are not as bad but they are still there.

Some people, not all, reach a point where they can not eat or drink at all

and need emergency treatment. Some go for years without any treatment and

just make adjustments to how they eat. The greatest danger is from getting

lung infections from aspirating food into the lungs while sleeping. There

are treatments that doctors can do. The surgery is best when done by

someone that has done many. One treatment may not work at all or it may

work very well for the rest of your life. Medicines can help. (Hopefully

someone will post a list of medications). If you have achalasia it is for

life, but you may be able to improve the symptoms.

M.S., welcome to the group. I am one whose symptoms of

Achalasia progressed at a rapid rate. I had my first symptom

which was the chest pains in the early fall, immediately followed

by difficulty in swallowing. By April I could keep down solids or

liquids and had lost 30 lbs. I am sure some foods did eventually

get through but most of the time I would be running to regurgitate

several times during a meal. The food never reached my stomach

before coming back. This happened to me at every meal and I

never had skipped days as you seem to.

I too, as you and many others here, was treated for GERD before

I was diagnosed with Achalasia in June or July, just 9 months after

my first symptoms. We all seem to be different. Feel free to ask

any specific questions you'd like to. We are all here for each other

and will be happy to answer you.

Hi,

My symtems came and went in the beginning, just when I thought

I was getting better it would get worse. I don't know of

medicine that can help but there are procedures that can if

it is Achalasia. Is it possible for you to see a doctor that

has experience with Achalasia. I know even here in the states

with all the doctors we have it is still difficult to diagnose.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

I never had the balloon dialation. I went ahead and had

laproscopic surgery with a anti-reflux procedure. I know

the surgery is a longer term fix than the balloon.

The surgery was not as difficult as I thought, make sure

you have a good surgeon. Immediately after surgery I was

able to drink liquids with no problem. Within 2 weeks I

was eating normally again. Surgeon said there is no way

to know if I will ever need another procedure, some people don't.

Others have symptoms again but not as servere and some will

need another procedure. It sounds like if you have achalasia

you are in the early stages.

The test they gave me to confirm achalasia was a manomotry(spelling?).

And and a barium swallow. The manomotry is uncomfortable

but it needs to be done.

I don't know anything about surgeons in your area but I know

some good ones here.

Happy new year to you too.

Also know as secondary achalasia, it is the symptoms of achalasia caused by

another problem. A tumor near the LES is one thing that could cause

achalasia symptoms. Another would be Chagas disease, and also Scleroderma

can cause the symptoms. In all these cases achalasia would be said to be

secondary to the primary disease. On the other hand, what most people in

this group have is " primary " achalasia, also known as idiopathic

achalasia, meaning achalasia of unknown cause, because no one knows for

sure what causes primary achalasia.
