What Is Achalasia?
4. Chest Pain
Many patients with achalasia will complain of a pain in their chest, and the pain is known to come and go for no apparent reason. The condition can also cause the patient to burp more than usual, which has the potential to be embarrassing in social and professional environments.
Another symptom is that that patient is likely to cough, especially at night. This can cause additional problems as it will make it harder for the patient to get enough sleep. There are numerous potential causes of these symptoms, some of which can be serious, so they should encourage the patient to speak with a doctor as soon as possible.
