How is Achalasia diagnosed?
See how Achalasia is diagnosed. Which specialists are essential to meet, what tests are needed and other useful information for the diagnosis of Achalasia
As I explained in another question earlier...
To be fair - everyone's symptoms are on different levels, so the answers (if there is one!) could be many. I am only speaking from personal experience here however, I had countless endoscopy's when my doctors were trying to figure out what was going on, then barium swallow which assisted greatly with the final diagnosis. Then came the Oesophageal Manometry (only have one child but would gladly have another instead of having that treatment again!)
After which, 2 dilations (30mm & 35mm balloons) neither worked immediately and I still suffer but not as bad as NOT having any of the above (minus the childbirth!).

It was a long journey, for 05 specialist Gastro, Surgeons, and endoscopists - All of the Department of Gastroenterology. It took me 3 years for an accurate diagnosis.
