Is Diltiazem Advisable For Choking And Swelling Caused While Eating?

I am having problems with food not going down after I swallow, it feels like it gets stuck and starts to swell almost taking my breath away. My primary care doctor prescribed diltiazem 12 HR ER 60 MG Cap for me today and I don t understand how this could help after reading all the info that came with it. I have had an endoscopy and that didn t help at all, after the stretch.

NO WAY.....!!!
I dont really know why he gave that to you!!!?
You dont have heart problems.

Probably you may have a DES ( diffuse esophageal spasm)
You should contact a gastroenterolog.

wish you all the best...
