I've been dealing with some breathing issues and chest tightness over the past couple of weeks, especially after eating. It's like I need to yawn just to feel like I get a full breath sometimes, and there's also a little bit of chest pain here and there. My thyroid's fine, and I've never had asthma. Two years ago, I had the same kind of problems and saw a doctor who thought it was anxiety and gastritis. He gave me antacids, and that cleared it up back then. Could this really just be the same thing happening again? Any advice would be great.

My doctors did a barium swallow x-ray and found I have esophagus spasms in the lower part, around 10 cm. They suggested dilation to clear it, but because of the narrowing, there's a risk of damage or a tear, which might need surgery. I'm not sure if I should go ahead with the procedure in my city, Ranchi, or seek treatment somewhere else. What would be the safer option given the risks?

Is LINX surgery available in India and how does it compare to other treatments for faster recovery? I've heard it can be removed if complications arise but I'm not sure about success rates or where to find good specialists for this procedure
