Suggest Treatment For Constriction In Esophagus

YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS PREGNANT I FELT A CONSTRICTION IN MY ESOPHAGUS AND JUST A PRESSURE JUST BELOW THE THROAT AND A PAIN DIRECTLY BEHIND MY BACK WHERE I FELT MY ESOPHAGUS WAS CONSTRICTING. I HAD AN ESOPHAGOSCOPY (?) AND THE DR. TOLD ME MY UTERUS WAS RISING (10 POUND BAY) ONLY WEIGHED 100 POUNDS SO THEY DIALATED MY ESOPHAGUS AND I WAS FINE ESPECIALLY AFTER I GAVE BIRTH. THIRTY SIX YEARS LATER I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS AND OBVIOUSLY I AM NOT PREGNANT (75 YEAS OLD) BUT I AM UNDER SEVERE STRESS TAKING CARE OF MY HUSBAND WHO HAS ALZHEIMER S. WHEN EVER SOMETHING GOES WRONG FOR SURE MY ESOPHAGUS CONSTRICTS. THE OTHER DAY IT CONSTRICTED SO BADLY MY B/P WENT OFF THE CHARTS. NOW, I AM WONDERING SHOULD I BE TAKING AN ANTI ANXIETY MEDICATION, AN ANTI ACID? SHOULD I MAKE AN APPT WITH A DR SINCE I KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT (NOT PHYSICAL THIS TIME BUT EMOTIONAL). PLEASE LET ME KNOW..AND HOW CAN I ALLEVIATE THE PRESSURE DIRECTLY IN BACK WHERE YOUR ESOPHAGUS END AND STOMACH BEGINS?
