I had the same experience almost 2 weeks ago with my endoscopy. The pain was horrible in my chest and esophagus. I played it safe and went to emergency. They did a scan to determine if I had perforation, and I was fine. They sent me home without any advice. I'm still having chest pains, and a bit of a hard time breathing. I called the surgeons office, and they told me it had nothing to do with the surgery. I'm very frustrated because I feel worse than I did before the endoscopy. I've decided to stick to soft foods, and follow up with my family doc for an xray and a blood test. Try not to panic unless you are vomiting coffee ground like blood, and or having blood in your stool. If you are running a fever, or have any of those symptoms, I would go to emergency to be safe. They say pain isn't common after endoscopy, but all the info on this site...it seems a lot of people have minor to severe pain afterwards. I'm not sure this helps you, but you should know you are not alone! Good luck with your recovery. I'm sure you'll be on the mend soon!

it went away after a couple days thanks good luck
now I'm just dealing with the wheezing with asthma attacks that is new and i believe it's from the ulcer in my esophagus but the doctors don't know for sure but hopefully it gets better soon
