Symptoms of EMD can include chest pain, and intermittent Dysphagia for solids, liquids, or both, and regurgitation. There are contractions along the lower esophagus when this condition happens. These contractions prevent the passage of food. Types Dysphagia could be for solid only or for solid and liquid. * Solid dysphagia is due to obstruction such as<unk>  cancer,<unk>  web, or stricture. * Solid plus liquid dysphagia is due to<unk>  (or dysmotility) either in the upper esophagus (myasthenia gravis, stroke, or dermatomyositis) or lower esophagus (systemic sclerosis, CREST syndrome, or achalasia). The Most common dysphagia is Achalasia which is caused by degeneration of the nerves in the esophagus. This causes the muscles to stop working and prevents the valve at the bottom of the esophagus from being able to open properly. If there is a food allergy causing an EMD, then physicians recommend an elimination diet. If this fails, then physicians will prescribe special types of Medication to help resolve this problem.
