Hi doctor, I am a 31 year old male. I recently had a severe chest pain like heartburn and visited a gastroenterologist doctor. I am also suffering from swallowing disorder for the past seven to eight months, especially solid foods and sometime liquids too. It feels that whenever I eat food it stuck somewhere in the chest at the level of the lower esophagus. I need to drink water to take down that food in the stomach. My doctor told me that I am suffering from mild antral gastritis and esophageal candidiasis as per endoscopy. Also, the endoscopy finding says that esophagus shows white curdy precipitate with erythema at GE junction and large dilated esophagus. Now, he has suggested for manometry test. I want to know the actual problem with me. Am I suffering from achalasia with GERD? What are the treatment options? The medication I am going through is Nexpro-L, Nexpro 40 and Torfix 400 mg. Can it be treated with medication or require surgery?
