Diffuse Esophageal Spasm

Posted By Scott Fisher on May 10, 1998 at 19:50:04:







I have been diagnosed as having Diffuse Esophageal Spasm and would like any information you have on stopping the severe chest pain.  I have had a stress test and all cardiac problems have been ruled out.  I have had several attacks after and during exercise and sometimes just sleeping.  The pain on a scale of 1 to 10 is a 12!  They last anywhere from 45 minutes to 3 hours.  I have taken sublingual Nitro with no reduction of pain and have now been prescribed slow release acting nitro that also does not reduce the pain.  I would prefer not to be on drugs all the time but if there are any ideas on how I can stop the pain when I am having an attack it would be greatfully appreciated.
