What are the symptoms typical of an esophogeal spasm? Do I Posted: 05-24-06 06:49am


I was recently diagnosed with esophogeal spasm by my general physician. He put me on nexium. My symptoms were burning in the middle of my chest, before and after i eat and a feeling of pressure in my chest. also i feel every breath and my stomach has a sensation when i press on it and i feel the sensation up my esophogus. Is this typical of esophogeal spasm? The nexium has stopped the burning but i still feel the pressure. it relieves itself when i eat or pass gas, i'm just worried that it could be cancer of some sort. I also has full blood work done about 2 months ago, along with an MRI and CAT scan of the brain. I was diagnosed with TMJ and have been under treatment for that with muscle relaxer, flexeril and relaxation. I would appreciate any thoughts or concerns. Thanks!
