Brief Answer:
Probably Achalasia

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing in
I have gone through the XRays but they are of very poor quality

Considering your history, age and XRays it is most likely achalasia which can be treated with Cardiomyotomy

You should go for an Upper GI endoscopy before finalizing any surgical procedures

With the advent of Laparoscopic surgery the procedure has become easier and result oriented

Hope this helps
Do write back in case of concern

Hope this helps
