Hello,
I would explain that the repeated vomiting could be related to an oesophagal irritation or gastro-oesophageal reflux, also related to the achalasia.
For this reason, I would recommend taking metoclopramide for nausea and vomiting and a PPI (Omeprazole, Pantoprazole, etc.) in the next days.
If the problem persists, consult with a gastroenterologist may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
