That's a good idea. You need to request an endoscopy. If there's one thing I have learnt it is pointless speculating what might be wrong with you and act on getting diagnosed and treatment.

If your problem is really bad you should seek medical advice ASAP x

Let us know how you got on x

When I experienced these symptoms my GP referred me for an endoscopy examination. Turned out I have eosophica! Ulcers. Prescribed medicine upset my stomach so I just put up with it.

How did you get on? Please do not delay in getting to the doctors, you need to get professional advice without delay as you have had the symptoms for so long.

you must have an endoscopy and soon , I had trouble swallowing it turned out to be a ulcer on my esopugus, taking meds to try and heal it meds make me feel unwell but just putting up with it as ulcers can turn cancerous please go and get checked out and good look.

Hi i expect they will put you on omeprazole and then have a barium swallow test or endoscopy. Most of us start here. It doesn't mean it is cancer so wait for results. Good Luck

You need to have an endoscopy ASAP. I am surprised if your Doctor hasn't already recommended this.
