Have you gotten testing done from a gi doctor? I’ve had many. The very last one was a monometry test. They found that the muscles in my esophagus are ineffective. Not working properly. Lots of pain and on soft diet. Have had several trials of meds to relax the muscles. None successful yet. I also have dysautonomia with the Mals. Gotta take life one hour at a time. Advocate for myself and be grateful for the good days. I would try my gi doctor. Good luck!hope you feel better real soon and get some answers.

I had an esophagus test that shows the motility is ineffective but I don’t have chest pain or pain with swallowing. Sometimes I cough on food though. It’s easier for me swallow solid than liquids.
The pain is upper mid abdomen which I think is mals but not sure. All other gi tests normal.
