"I couldn't finish my meals. Halfway through the meals I had to make myself vomit because I was chocking.”, Catalina, patient with acalasia.

Catalina and Isidoro, patients at the Clínic, tell us about their experience with achalasia.

Achalasia is a disorder of the oesophagus that makes it difficult for food and liquid to move from the oesophagus to the stomach. This is because the nerve that handles the movements of the oesophagus is damaged, and the sphincter that allows food to pass into the stomach does not open properly.
