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.

Yes that’s typical for Mals. However you can have pain in chest as well. Have you been diagnosed with dysautonomia? My surgeon said the majority of her Mals patients have this as well. It affects your bp heart rate etc.
