Hi. As many of you already know by now, there is another reflux defence mechanism, many times overlooked, and it can only be confirmed on manometry. Large peristalsis defects were found on test. It is a disease of vagus nerve. All my symptoms came after a viral infection. Most debilitating is constant shortness of breath. I also have sinusitis, sore throat and inflammed uvula. I am very discouraged by this condition since there seems to be no effective cure. All prokinetics that would stimulate esophageal contractions have risky side effects. I dont know what to do. Living with gasping for air is miserable. Has anyone found a miracle or safe prokinetic that can be taken for longer time? My distale contractile integrale is only 32. Normal is 500-5000? I think of feeding tube even. Would that exclude function of my poor esophagus? I hope they discover some esophageal pace maker in future.. Thanks for your input.
