Cardiac spasms can occur for a variety of reasons. This condition can be hereditary or it can be the result of an autoimmune condition, which occurs when the body's immune system attacks.

Cardiac spasm, also known as Achalasia, is a rare disease of the esophagus, ranked second after esophageal cancer. The overall frequency is 6 cases/100,000 population/year.

Esophageal spasm is a rare disorder of esophageal motility. Patients often have symptoms such as chest pain that is not related to the heart, difficulty swallowing, feeling of food stuck in the throat,... Early examination and treatment have an important role, and treatment methods are very important. Treatment reduces pressure on the esophageal sphincter, helping to improve symptoms and conditions.

Dear doctor, I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with early stage heart spasm. Moreover, I also have a history of gastroesophageal reflux disease. In addition, when I eat and drink, I feel uncomfortable and my back hurts.

Cardiac spasm is a disease related to esophageal spasm as well as disordered esophageal motor activities leading to esophageal stricture, causing adverse effects on the patient's health. Esophageal spasm interferes with the functions of the digestive system such as making it difficult for the patient to swallow and other systemic manifestations, such as chest pain, so it should be detected and treated as soon as possible.

Achalasia is a rare disease of the esophagus characterized by esophageal dysfunction. The terminal portion of the esophagus that enters the stomach is constricted and narrowed, while the upper portion is dilated.

I want to ask doctor Mai Vien Phuong about the method of treating spasm of the heart, I have dilated 2 times, each time is 2 or 3 years apart and now I am eating and drinking again, choking, drinking water to push down the food. slowly, very difficult.

In the digestive system, food is moved through the digestive tract thanks to the rhythmic contraction of the digestive tract, which helps the food move through the intestinal lumen and is called "digestive peristalsis". When having digestive motility disorders, these contractions do not work properly and increase the risk of gastrointestinal diseases for the patient. So what causes gastrointestinal motility disorders?

Achalasia is a functional disorder in which the esophagus is not able to push food down into the stomach (abnormal esophageal motility) and the lower esophageal sphincter opens incompletely (hypertension). lower sphincter) causes food to stagnate in the esophagus.

Yesterday until now, every time I swallow or cough, burp, I have a feeling of choking in the esophageal area. Today I lie down to breathe, it hurts, eating is difficult, I have to try to swallow, every time I swallow, I have to sit tight because I feel uncomfortable to the chest muscles. Now talking or laughing, lying down, breathing also hurts in a choking and throbbing fashion. So the doctor asked me, the feeling of choking in the esophagus is a symptom of what disease? Is there any way to treat it?

In this review, the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and presentation of most common esophageal motility disorders (EMD) will be covered. Achalasia is the best described disorder in the group and its features will be highlighted. As diagnostic and therapeutic options for esophageal motility disorders are increasing, a multimodal approach is required and referral to gastroenterology or surgery is recommended for further management of these disorders.
