How do you get rid of esophagus spasms?

Question

Every since I had my gallbladder taken out I get spasms that start at the opening of my stomach and go up into my chest. It's a dull ache and is very annoying and sometimes very painfull. It usually only happens in the mornings after I get up but sometimes it will wake me up earlier. The doctors keep saying to use antacids but it is not acid.

Drinking peppermint oil mixed with water helps with the symptoms and can cause the muscles to contract normally. Also reduce your stress levels. (easier said than done, I know)
