Typical side effects and symptoms include:  Regurgitation of food Trouble swallowing (dysphagia) Chest pain Pneumonia Excessive clearing of throat Bad breath (halitosis) Coughing Weight loss In most cases, esophageal diverticulitis requires no special treatment.

If your condition is severe, you may have to contact a thoracic surgeon.  If you have an unusual bulge on your throat, tell your doctor about it. This may be a sign of Zenker’s diverticulum. There are a number of tests that your doctor may perform to diagnose esophageal diverticulum. If you have already been diagnosed, your doctor may want to do more tests to discover the underlying condition causing your diverticula and related disorders. These tests include:   Endoscopy: In this procedure, you will be given a topical anesthetic. The doctor will lower a tube down your throat to examine what types of pockets are developing in your esophagus.  Barium Swallow: You will be asked to swallow a chalk-like liquid. Using a special x-ray, the doctor will track the liquid as it travels down your esophagus to see if there are any obstructions.   Esophageal manometry: A tube will be lowered down your throat to measure contractions of your esophagus. This will determine if food can pass safely down to your stomach.  24-Hour Esophageal pH Test: A tube will be lowered into your esophagus through your nose. The outer part of the tube will remain attached to your face. After a day, the tube is removed.

Talk to your doctor about which antacids may be most appropriate for your condition. Make sure you inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking or allergies you have.
