Warning Signs Of Esophageal Achalasia

Regurgitation

Individuals with esophageal achalasia often end up throwing up at random times. It is common to throw up occasionally if you are sick, but if it is happening frequently without any accompanying illness, visit the doctor. Since the esophagus is not properly trapping food in the stomach after eating, whatever you eat can end up rising in the esophagus. This triggers a gag reflex in some individuals, so they end up puking. Those with esophageal achalasia start out by throwing up a little while after they eat. In the later stages, the throwing up may start right after an individual swallows food, and eventually, the regurgitation becomes so bad even liquid may trigger the puking reflex. This symptom is often worse if you lay down or bend over right after eating. Regurgitation can be a very distressing symptom because it is uncomfortable and inconvenient.
