Achalasia How is achalasia diagnosed? The diagnosis of achalasia often is suspected on the basis of the history. Patients usually describe a progressive (worsening) of swallowing (dysphagia) for solid and liquid food over a period of many months to years. They may note regurgitation of food, chest pain, or loss of weight. Rarely, the first symptom is aspiration pneumonia. Because patients typically learn to compensate for their dysphagia by taking smaller bites, chewing well, and eating slowly, the diagnosis of achalasia often is delayed by months or even years.

Dysphagia (Difficulty Swallowing) If dysphagia is associated with aspiration of food into the lungs, aspiration pneumonia may occur with all of the symptoms of pneumonia (fever, chills, and respiratory distress). If there is aspiration of food (most common with liquids), swallows may induce coughing due to entrance of the liquid into the voice box (larynx) at the top of the trachea or into the lungs. 2  If solid food becomes lodged in the lower throat, it may induce choking and gagging and interfere with breathing.
