Upper Endoscopy 5 days ago having chest pain and pain swallowing

Posted , 3 users are following.

i had a random onset of painful swallowing about two months ago, barium swallow showed mild dysmotility of the Esophegaus. monometry test was normal, had a endoscopy 5 days ago friday morning with three biopsies. im having chest pain mainly in one area, went to ER EKG & chest xray were normal. blood work normal as well, but my chest is hurting pretty bad 😦 i have a pretty good pain tolerance too (full sleeve of tattoos)

now i wait to see the ENT SPECIALIST..

what else can cause this pain when swallowing? only liquids cause it, not solids. warm liquids dont seem to cause the pain (feels like a tightening) what could this be?!

    i had my third endescopy in 2016, having had previous in 2014 and 2011. the first two showed les and oesaphagus inflamation, the second showed barretts for which im on ppi meds for gerd. however, although the first two scopes were fine and had no after affects but since the last one in 2016, i have lost my appetite and i just did not feel good after that procedure. it felt as though they took more than they should have in the biopsy. as a result i asked my gp would anything be amiss and said unlikely. my point being that im having no more endescopies whatsoever after the way i felt from the previous one. i do hopd you find answers to your problem. best of luck.
