Hello I Have Been Pretty Stressed For 2-3 Months And

Posted on Tue, 2 Feb 2021

Question: Hello I have been pretty stressed for 2-3 months and I’ve developed mild Dysphagia and mild heartburn mainly only at night or early morning. I’m taking Pepcid 40mg 2x for two weeks. I have no problem eating at all, no weight loss, no blood, no black stool, but early morning only feels more like pills and food is slower to move to stomach from lower throat and or esophagus. More of a feeling. I did have an endoscopy 12 months ago all good but mild gastritis and I have had IBS for years. What do you think Dr? I am a big worrier to. Thanks

Brief Answer:
Motility Issue

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
Your endoscopy was normal which means there is nothing obstructing the lumen to cause dysphagia.
If your dysphagia is significant, then it could be due to motility issues.
High resolution manometry of the esophagus may be done to confirm it.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
