Ayurvedic Treatment of Cardiospasm In India
Achalasia Cardla
- It is called cardiospasm
Causes and symptoms
- It is a condition in which the lower esophagus sphincter fails to relax.
- There will be difficulty in swallowing solid food and liquids also.
- Chest pain, regurgitation of food will be reported during night.
- Chest pain may occur during ingestion.
- There is another condition called corkscrew Oesophagus, in which un co-ordinated movement of peristalsis of esophagus are seen. Chest pain will be present. These uncoordinated contractions don’t propel food effectively to stomach.
- Usually severe pain will be there, pain increases after the exercise. This may mimic the chest pain.
- I have seen people having this problem even after surgery.
Diagnosis
- Barium x-ray
- Endoscopy
- Biopsy is taken at the lower end of esophagus to rule out cancer.
- Sometime endoscopic procedure can produce erosion.
Advices
- Chillies, tamarind, pickles, etc., should be avoided
- Coffee, tea should be reduced
- Vega dharanam must be avoided.
