progressive bubbling of oesophagus-- air in esophagus? dysmotility? causes?

by kissie, Jun 24, 2001 12:00AM
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.
