I am a 72 year old female. I have been suffering with undiagnosed chest pain for three years now. Since I have a history of heart arrhythmia's for 52 years, we did everything we could to rule out heart problems. I finally had an esophageal manometry test and it showed the LES not functioning properly. It did not want to let food go into the stomach sometimes. The doctor suggested an EGD with botox injection. This would have to be repeated from time to time and if surgery was ever indicated, might interfere with the surgery. If they relax the muscle with botox, wouldn't there be MORE reflux and an increase in the chance of causing cancer of the esophagus? I am at a standstill on which way to go, (if any).
