What is the history of Achalasia?
When was Achalasia discovered? What is the story of this discovery? Was it coincidence or not?
It was first chronicled in the 17th century - so it's still extremely rare but extremely old! I'm unable to find any research on who discovered achalasia. Maybe someone else has some ideas on where to find info on this?

I do not. I didn't bother researching that as it had no relevance for my resolving my issue.

I’ve read that it has been around since the mid 1700s.

It IS NOT WELL KNOWN, it Is known that in 1679, Sir Thomas Willis described achalasia.In 1881, von Mikulicz described the disease as a cardioespasmo to indicate that the symptoms were due to a functional problem rather than a mechanical problem.
