I had a h hernia repaired and since then I've had esophageal spasms. My doc gave me a medicine, but it does no good.

I'd love to hear from you all to know if this is unusual or frequently the case.

They began to die down for me around week 2 as far as intensity. I took Xanax (sp?) and the pain killers to try to help relax them. I still had them, though not at all nearly as intense, up to a week and 1/2 ago. Seems the need to burp would trigger them. I discovered that if I took quick steady mouth breaths that the burp would sometimes ease on out. I couldn't force them anymore.

They suck badly and I feel for you. I guess it just takes time for everything to loosen up a bit? I hope they pass for your quickly.

Thanks so much Emmylou,

I don't see any relationship that triigers the spasms, they pretty much stay there always. I am glad for you that yours went away and am hoping that mine will too. Strange, but today I took a xanaX hoping that it might relax my e, and it did somewhat,,,don't want to take them much though...

have ta work you know...
