throat/upper chest congested feeling and oesophageal dysmotility. ?scleroderma

I contantly get this upper chest /throat congested feeling. pain at times

which cause me to cough-- sometimes streaks of blood seen! i am worried.

very worried indeed. my breathlessness continues, with difficulty in taking

full satisfying breath, feels that the throat muscles etc have been stuck

and cannot lift up during breathing in.

i feel that my oesophagus is pulling tight inside.

i had manometry test and it showed oesophageal dysmotility. i am worried

it's connected with connective tissue disease.

why am i getting the breathlessness? related to connective tissue disease

again? this makes me even worrier. worrier.

can oesophagus problem cause respiratory problem like mine?

whenever i swallow my own saliva (upright or lie down) i feel that the

saliva is being pushed to the back of the throat but it stays there and

didn't get down. i can then feel the 'bubble sensation' moving in my

oesophagus which makes a noise (like a grumbling noise produced from your

stomach).

anyone has any info?

god bless everyone.

Problems like these usually come from the nervous system (breath excercises- pranayamas- from Yoga are very helpful and effective here). Avoid foods that give gases to your body, like beans and diary products, greese. Follow a good diet. Ayurvedic Antu- Vata diet is a good example, tt can control gases in your digestive systm.
