I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. I too was diagnosed two months ago. I end up in er once a week with chest pain. My drs said I have irregular muscles I my esophagus. Discovered on my go motility test. They are trying meds to relax muscles so eating and swallowing are easier. I also have eliminated acidic food. Strawberries apples etc. it’s really helping more than the meds. I had to change my diet completely. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

I take 20 mg of amitriptyline. Some people take 50 and it works. There are other meds out there.

I take 3, piridostigmina, buspar and prevacid. I hate so much meds. Does not work that good. Any chest pain and feelings that your heart is jumping stomach area. I have confused my heart with IEM symptoms. Awwfull feeling
