Blocking of food pipe
Hello sir,
From last one year my father(age 54) is suffering from a problem which according to our observation is achalasia. The solid food often blocks into food pipe preventing it to enter stomach. It difficults breathing air during that time. Also it unsettles the norma blood pressure. The problem is quite frequent and occurs almost every day during any of meal (mostly during dinner). Please suggest as to what medications can be taken over. Thanks in advance.

Consult a gastroenterologist who would advise you an endoscopy for diagnosing the problem. Treatment would depend on the results of the scopy.
