Default Esophagus touching itself

I like a little control in my life (laughing hysterically) and the inability to predict how I would be functioning from hour to hour was driving me crazy. I have finally made a sort of peace with that.

Teelae, I have experienced the feeling of my esophagus touching itself (it really is hard to describe and that description doesn't sound so good). My problems swallowing are my most consistent symptom. It's always there to some degree but definitely varies with the same inconsistency as the other symptoms.
Thankyou AliceMD for your story, it helped alot. How does the PFO fit in? Also, to Suddenly, new member, thank you for your response - the esophagus touching itself really is an apt description, I described it as folding on itself in places. Is yours ever related to the positioning??
