Guest guest Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hi, Before my HM surgery, esophageal manometry was conducted on my esophagus. The tests revealed that pressure of esophagus muscle contractions was not enough. Now my surgery is performed two weeks back and now I have (almost) started eating normal diet. Since Achalasia is a progressive disease, I think that nerves of my esophagus will eventually die and thus there would not be any pressure left in esophagus muscle contractions then. My question is that is there any precaution or anything else could be done in the meantime to stop or delay this progressive disease? I heard people talking about Vitamin B which may be helpful to improve the health of overall nervous system. Should I start taking Vitamin B then? I was tested on Vitamin B few months ago and I was on low side of it. I started taking Vitamin B then but it didn't help with Achalasia. To the folks who have gone through MT already, do you notice reduction of pressure of esophagus muscle contractions? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
