Achalasia Cardia is what I suffer from. It takes about two or three months and I have so much food stuck that I am losing too much weight. Can you recommend a specialist for me? I am female, 37, 5'4 and range from 110 to 88 pounds. My GI doctor has tried balloning but the muscle going to the stomach will not open.
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Your all symptoms are due to worsening of achalasia cardia. It is due to tightening of gastroesophageal sphincter and dilatation of lower end of esophagus. Balloon dilatation of sphincter is the first step to be done in the treatment of achalasia cardia. Since this has been failed in your case, better to get done surgical repair of lower gastroesophageal sphincter. This is the only treatment option you are having. So consult gastro surgeon and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
