What Is Achalasia?
6. Weight Loss
Another likely symptom of achalasia is vomiting, and excess vomiting means the patient is unlikely to be getting the nutrition that they need. This only adds to the fact the patient is already likely to be having difficulty eating. These factors can cause the patient to start losing weight.
It should be noted that losing weight rapidly is not a good thing, even in people that are obese. Losing too much weight too quickly can be dangerous for a person’s health so it should be done in a controlled manner. You should also be concerned if you are losing weight and you are unable to explain why.
