7 years with Achalasia And The Pain
Posted , 6 users are following.
I just had the worse pain ever since having this awful disease. I could'nt do nothing sat in car for 30 till it eased a bit paid some bills in post office and it started again each time sipping ice water which i have learnt to carry with me Always and its eased but just got home and bang it come back with a vengeance . So painful i could feel the blood pumping around in my ears. To be honest it frightened me if it did'nt go within 10 minutes i would had to phone for an ambulance. So glad i took water with me because it would of gotten worse.
The feeling i can only describe is like if someone had a red hot pliers and forced it into my chest pulling and twisting I even started to feel sick with the pain.
I took a mouth full of Gavison and sipping ice water and the pain is now manageable but still there. I pray it does'nt come back. I would rather a couple of toothaches than these Spasms any day of the week.

In my experience, copious amounts of (preferably cool) milk is the sure way to alleviate pains from spasms / heartburn every time. By contrast, Gavison had not effect whatsoever. Hope you find a 'solution' that works consistently for you soon....

thought it was possibly a heart attack at first but at least we know what it is and we have got through the attacks before and survived!!
All the best to you.

It might depend on whether your chest pains are connected with acid reflux or not, or caused by spasm. Do they happen at night? You could try Gaviscon (over the counter) to see whether this makes a difference. If so, it would tend to indicate reflux.
An endoscopy would indicate whether there is scarring or not. There are also tests like manometry to test pressure in your oesophagus and 24 hour pH monitoring for acid.
Overall, it is the best approach to get the diagnostic tests all done so that any further procedures are directed against the root of the trouble; and it is possible that an increase of reflux after the surgery may be the natural consequence of that surgery, and that anti-relfux medication may alleviate your pain. But you need the tests to find out either way.
