Hello doctor, I have had dysphagia for six months. I have been taking Omeprazole for three months. However, I have been going for tests including blood tests, endoscopy and barium swallow and all are completely normal. It is only with solid foods and with every meal it is worse the worst being evening meal, and it is with every bite of solid food. Liquids are fine. The problem still persists. What is it? I have had reflux and regurgitation in the past but never regular.
Hello. I went through your query.  You are suffering from reflux which probably was not very prominent. This condition is called a silent reflux.  Because of this silent reflux, the esophagus undergoes spasm as soon as you eat any solid foods.This condition is called as a nutcracker esophagus. You need to consult a gastroenterologist and undergo a test called "24-hour pH (potential of hydrogen) monitoring in the esophagus" and an esophageal manometry. This will tell you the severity and extent of the damage to the esophagus physiologically that is if there is any functional derangement. The tests you have undergone are only anatomical tests which may not explain your condition. For more information consult an ENT Otolaryngologist online -->
