Upper GI Examination

That is what I had this morning. I had the impression that the exam was just for my corkscrewed esophagus. However the procedure involved my stomach too.   The exam found a restriction in my  esophagus right where it enters my stomach and  found acid damage in the stomach and esophagus. The Doctor stretched the restriction, took some biopsies of the damaged spots both in my stomach and esophagus, and gave a me a prescription for medicine. The medicine reduces acid and helps with swallowing problems. I hate to have another capsule in my life, but the Doctor knows best.
