How did you come to a diagnosis and what are the symptoms? I do at times have a bit of difficulty swallowing and pressure in my throat. It feels as if there is a lump occasionally after taking meds or eating. This can continue to indigestion and discomfort in my chest. Does that sound familiar?
Hello @miller82602
I appreciate your discussing your experience with the POEM surgery as it relates to jackhammer esophagus. It sounds as if you were really helped by this procedure.
You mentioned that it was difficult to find a doctor to perform POEM. Would you share how you went about finding a specialist for this procedure?
