Symptoms of ACHALASIA


Symptoms of achalasia include difficulty swallowing and chest pain. The pain may occur during or shortly after eating. Regurgitation of food during or after meals occurs. It may be worse at night when lying down. As the disorder worsens, decreased intake may lead to weight loss. There is an increased risk of developing esophageal cancer in people who develop achalasia. This occurs in the chronically injured portion of the esophagus.
