One of the causes of esophageal strictures is gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, a condition in which excessive acid is refluxed from the stomach up into the esophagus. 1  This causes an inflammation in the lower part of the esophagus.
The exact cause of esophageal spasms is unknown. Research shows that this condition can result from a disruption in the nerve activity which coordinates the swallowing action and movement of food down the esophagus e.g. In many cases people that eat very hot or very cold food may trigger an episode.
