There is very effective treatment for esophageal spasms...nitrates and calcium channel blockers just to start with. I take both for my vasospasms (which have same symptoms) and have nitro for emergency.

Did you have manometry to confirm Dx? If so, why didn't they opt to treat you with medications?...even just to have nitro, should it flare up.

No official diagnosis. I made an appt with endo in August. My pcp and neuro both feel that this is the issue. Had 2 ecg's both were fine. Blood pressure is low, never high.
