Can infants have sphincter of oddi and how do you test for it

[RUTHIE1953]

I HAD THE SURGERY A WEEK AGO.  MY SYMPTOMS WERE WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD ESOPHGUS  SPASMS THAT FELT LIKE I WAS HAVING A HEART ATTACK.  AFTER TWO ATERIGRAMS MY HEART WAS RULED OUT. THESE ATACKS MADE MY BLOOD PRESSURE REACH STROKE LEVEL 250/140.  I AM ALSO HAVING EXTREME CHANGES IN BOWEL MOVEMENTS. VERY SMALL IN SIZE AND HAVING TO MAKE MYSELF GO,  SINCE THE SURGERY IT IS NOT ANY BETTER, THE ATTACKS ARE NO AS SEVERE AOTHOUGH I TAKE PAIN MEDS TO KEEP IFT FROM GOING FULL BLOWN.  DOES THIS SOUND LIKE I HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM?

If you're asking if they can have sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, I would assume anyone could have it. The test for SOD is an ERCP with manometry.
