Guest guest Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Hi everyone I am now experiencing severe tightness of the sphincter muscle in the upper end of my oesophagus (in the throat). Had a dilatation of it last week which hasn't helped so back to my consultant next week to see what else I can do. Apparently this isn't part of achalasia but an overlapping condition which I need to find out more about when I see him. Any info from anyone on here gratefully received though as always. Really interested in all the comments about carbonated drinks. I always find a warm drink (either hot water or peppermint tea etc) helps me most when I am trying to eat but I notice several of you are talking about carbonated drinks really helping. I have found that really cold drinks cause my gullet to really constrict so are you drinking them at room temperature? thanks as always and love to you all.
