What Causes Esophageal Spasms During Pregnancy?

Hi- I am 12 weeks pregnant and had, what I believe to be an esophageal spasm this morning. It was incredibly painful and now the majority of the pain has subsided, however I have been left with this residual feeling of having a lump in my throat which makes me feel as if I might vomit. I did vomit twice during the intensely painful time. I do not feel nauseated now, just have this sensation which is triggering my gag reflex constantly 1- when might I expect this lump sensation to subside? 2- is this something that is a concern that I should see my doctor for today or can I wait until my routine visit next week? Thank you. Sara

Hi, I think I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

Please have small, frequent meals. Avoid deep fried foods, bakery products and refined sugars in diet.

Tab Ondem MD 30 minutes before the meals will be of help. Also, low level of vitamin B 12 and Folic acid can be responsible for it. So you can start on. therapeutic dose of Vitamin B 12 and Folic acid.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks
