Just wondering if anyone here has spasms in their throat/esophagus? I've been having these for the past three years (dx four years ago) and thought I was having horrible heart palps that I could feel through my throat and up my neck. My neuro never thought anything about this and said I need to see a cardiologist, so a couple weeks ago I saw a heart rhythm specialist who had me wear a monitor for a whole week. I go back on Thursday for my results. When I saw him a couple weeks ago, he is the one who said he thinks they are esoph spasms. When he listened to my heart he appartently didn't hear through his stethoscope what I was feeling. I do have severe esophagitis (GERD) which I was dx last year. I had a gastoroscopy a year ago...guess I wasn't having spasms when I had that scope done.

Also, this past summer I had my first bout of leg spasms where I felt like my muscles were being ripped off my bones so I went to a rheumy who ran her gauntlet of tests. She said I don't have any of the illnesses she would treat but did notice that my globulin was low so she ran an electrophoresis and immunoglobulins/antibody tests. Found out I have low IGA...the others were normal. She said I need to see my primary care to run further tests cuz this needs to be looked into. I go to my NEW pc next week too. So, Just wondering if any of you have this too??? I did see on some website when I was googling where there can be some relationship with this and immuno diseases..

Thank you!!!
