Jackhammer spasms of esophagus can be mistaken for heart attack

Dear Dr. Roach • Can you provide any tips for dealing with “jackhammer” esophageal spasms? Eleven months ago, I had my first attack of these dreadfully painful spasms, which lasted for about 30 minutes. The immediate trigger was red wine. In subsequent small experiments, I have discovered that they can be triggered by both red and white wines.
