Guest guest Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I had the manometry test done about 4 years ago and I was only 31 years old. The woman who performed the procedure was shocked when she saw that I had virtually no gag reflex. She said that usually someone younger in years had a stronger gag reflex and when I first came in she thought I would have trouble with it. Don't get me wrong, I didn't enjoy the procedure, but it did make the test easier and quicker to get to my diagnosis of achalasia. I had the peristalsis with the strong LES pressure and also spasms (not at time of manometry). But my question is does anyone else have a weak or non existent gag reflex, and what does that mean? Is it unusual? Well, that was more like 3 questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
