Achalasia cardia is a rare disorder where the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) fails to relax, making it difficult for food and liquid to pass into the stomach.
Over time, the esophagus can become dilated and lose its ability to push food down, leading to symptoms like dysphagia, chest pain, and regurgitation. Unlike GERD, in achalasia cardia, regurgitated food comes from the esophagus, not the stomach.
