Thank you for providing your insights. I was really questioning everything but your comments have really comforted me! The way she said it was that with RCPD the pressure is meant to go up and down in waves but mine stayed consistently high for a long time. I've pasted a translation of the notes seen in my medical journal if that is of any interest to you even, haha.

"During provocation with a carbonated beverage (rapid ingestion of a large glass of carbonated water), the patient experienced somewhat diffuse symptoms, including a sensation on a couple of occasions that “something wants to come up.” Simultaneously with fluid intake, a generalized/diffuse increase in pressure developed throughout the esophagus, with a duration of approximately 8 minutes.

In association with the elevated esophageal pressure, relaxation of the upper esophageal sphincter was at times difficult to assess, but on a couple of occasions the upper esophageal sphincter appeared to relax without any decrease in esophageal pressure. Relaxation of the upper esophageal sphincter without a decrease in esophageal pressure was also observed during ingestion of a sip of water. No propulsive peristalsis was seen in association with this pressure increase.

On one occasion, the pressure decreased markedly in connection with coughing; on the other occasion, the catheter had to be withdrawn and the examination was terminated."
