2 weeks ago i had an endoscopy with biopsy to determine why i was having a burning sensation in my chest and a feeling that i had something stuck in my throat, it was just an irritated esophagus from throwing too much from food poisoning, turns out it was an ulcer,a 2 days after the endoscopy that sensation that i had something stuck in my throat went away, but i noticed that after the endoscopy i started to feel an irritated, soreness feeling in my esophagus trachea area and it has not gone away i am starting to feel very scared it may be something serious,i went to my regular doctor and they said it was normal, which i am shocked to hear because its been almost 3 weeks and most people only have these symptoms 2 days after the surgery 3 days later i went to a night clinic and they told me this was a sign of GERD that acid was irritating the esophagus so Ive been taking liquid antacid and it does not help, i am unsure if i should trust an NP or a specialists that deals with these issues. What may this be? Please help me
