Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes,
chest discomfort can be due to
nutcracker esophagus.
Only
nexium (
pantoprazole) is not sufficient for 100% recovery.
You need to follow these lifestyle modifications also.
1. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food.
2. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
3. Avoid
smoking and alcohol if you have these habits.
4. Go for walking after meals. Loose weight if you are obese.
5. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in bed.
6. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
