                        Have you seen a GI doctor? have you had any tests done ?like endoscopys ? I had a dialtion and also yesterday a tube stuck up my nose down into my throat and stomach to see how the esophogus is working when swallowing  I have to go back for a 24 hour ph test  Are you taking any muscle relaxer for your esophogus  I take nexium this is helping greatly with the heartburn  And elevil for the spasms of the esophogus I still have pain in the chest area at times but not as bad.My hiatal hernia is to small for repair  Good luck I hope you find some help,I know it is aweful to have to go threw
