Hi,
I have chest pain all the time. It gets worse with food but really there is no time that I don't have it.
Cardiologist ruled out heart related problems.
I had upper endoscopy and barium swallow test. Both of them were normal.
My PCP wants me to go for acid/saline perfusion (bernstein) test.
Is it possible to have an esophagus that is hyper sensitive to food (especially to salt and other acidic food) but don't have spasms? I am saying no spasms because my barium test was negative.
Put in different words, can a person have negative barium swallow test but positive acid perfusion test?
I don't think I have acid reflux because those meds never eased the pain.
