I wasn’t told anything like these. Once in the morning After few months of last ablation I felt like my esophagus was twisting a bit for a few second and I wasn’t feeling well since then. Now is always discomfort in the lower part of distal esophagus. I am not sure what would be next step as I am so depressed and in pain now .
I am reading a lot of comments here that about the prognosis is so bad of this kind of disease.
I do have follow up with my doctor tomorrow and ultrasound scheduled for whole abdomen.
Please pray for me.

You might want to ask your doctor tomorrow if esophageal dilation might be helpful in your situation. You read more about it here:

Prayers are with you.
