I find that turmeric mixed with any kind of milk helps ease the contractions or spasms almost immediately.

PEPPERMINT OIL...I have had this condition for 30 years, first time it happened a thought it was a heart attack, it was gone before I could get to the hospital, after many EKG's and treadmill stress tests, all results were negative(these tests went on for years), I went through this for about 10 years, my symptoms eventually clicked with my primary doctor(old guy, my mother called him an old horse doctor) he said it can be treated nitroglycerin or PEPERMINT OIL and water, I chose peppermint oil, these spasms would last about an hour and are completely debilitating, within minutes(no more than 5 usually) of drinking the peppermint oil and water the spasms completely stopped, it works so well for me that I keep the solution at home and in my car and take it at the first signs of a spasm and it stops it almost instantly, I have passed this on to a few people, who have had the same results. I am not a doctor! and I am not telling anyone to ignore their doctor, but ask your doctor and try it yourself. I not going to lie and tell you this is wonderful, its not, its hot in the mouth and everything taste and smells peppermint for an hour. Sometimes I think the shock startles your system and everything just calms down. one to two swallows usually is all it takes, a few drops of oil in a glass of water.

Hello Doc. Thanks for posting. Most doctors have never heard of this. I’ve been living with debilitating DES, along with Nutcracker spasms for several years how. I take all those meds, CCBs, nitro patches, even clonidine to relax the smooth muscle. Mine are severe. I’m actually disabled by them now. I’ve had a million tests. Just had another endoscopy yesterday to check on the condition of my esophagus… my fifth in 5 yrs. Had 4 manometry tests. Activity, talking, & heat make it worse. I have CP, sob, nausea, periodic vomiting. It’s a good time, lol. I write you also to tell you I used to be an endurance hiker & worked out several times/week. Now I can go none of that. I’ve gotten worse by the year since 2013. Disabled by it since 2016. Used to be a research biologist. The meds make it bearable, but don’t work well enough to let me do the things I used to. I think mine have to do w/ my rough upbringing, & my vagus nerve. Im going to attempt the Wim Hof method involving a special kind of breathing & cold therapy. I can suggest, for those who have the sudden onset of a nutcracker spasm (feels like a heart attack.. pain up your arm, into your jaw, & crushing chest pain bc the vagus nerve doesn’t distinguish btwn the heart & ES), one thing that seems to work did this kind of spasm oftentimes. When I start feeling the symptoms, I immediately begin drinking water, & I keep swallowing until I need to take a breath. I suspect the rhythmic swallowing somehow resets the electrical impulses in the esophageal muscle, & normal peristalsis resumes. However, this doesn’t work for DES. I don’t know why. For anyone interested in trying the Wim Hof method, it’s free. And there’s been multiple studies done on him & people who’ve followed his methods. If you want to learn about him, I first saw him on KZitem in a VICE News documentary. Search for, “Wim Hof VICE Documentary.”

Thank You for the video! My son has been dealing with what we think is this, but doctors have yet to diagnose and treat, for just over a year now. He has lost over 100 lbs and has little quality of life and no hope for ever being the same. I wish there was a way for him to be treated a doctor with specific knowledge of this condition. It seems like hospitals and doctors, in this country, only take you seriously if you're rich or famous or dying.

It may also happen because of blood pH becoming acidic. Try IV with Sodium Bicarbonate (10 - max 20 ml for adults) to neutralise after consulting with a doctor

I suffer from this periodically. The first few times it was diagnosed as a cardiac event and was prescribed nitroglycerin spray. The next time it occurred I used the nitro and the contractions increased tenfold an caused excruciating pain and increased the length of the event. The nitro was discarded.

Hi. Very good video! I wonder about the monometry examination. Will it be able to diagnose DES without having active spasm during examination? And about the ergonovine drug, why would it be beneficial to stimulate a spasm? Will only people with DES get spasm from this drug? And therefor, if you don't get spasm from taking it, it will rule out DES? Is that the purpose? Hope to get answer. Doctors in my country have very little knowledge about this.

Had this for 8 years now seen multiple Gastro doctors and many test ran nothing shows up I'm never having them when they do the test so they rule it out but they are very disabling and I'm so tired of them having them now and I wish they could find something they write it off as my anxiety but I know it's not and since I been dealing with them for many years they have gotten worse ugh
