Vikram Roy, a 58-year-old retired school...
Vikram Roy, a 58-year-old retired school principal from Kolkata, had always been active and health-conscious. For the past two years, he had been struggling with a persistent feeling of food getting stuck in his chest, frequent regurgitation of undigested food, and unexplained weight loss. It made his beloved evening meals with his family a source of anxiety rather than joy. His gastroenterologist, Dr. Sharma, suspected a motility disorder like achalasia and recommended an esophageal manometry to measure the strength and coordination of his esophageal muscles. Vikram was deeply apprehensive about the procedure, fearing it would be painful and humiliating. The experience was uncomfortable, the insertion of the thin tube through his nose was challenging, and the repeated swallowing of water felt strange, but the nursing staff was incredibly supportive, talking him through each step. The results clearly showed poor esophageal muscle function, confirming achalasia. While the diagnosis was serious, Vikram felt a profound sense of relief. For the first time in years, he had a clear answer. He moved forward with a treatment plan (a laparoscopic Heller myotomy) with hope, no longer burdened by the fear of the unknown.
