Brief Answer:
NO!

Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks for this query.

An esophageal stretch shouldn't cause that. When was this procedure done and how soon after it did you start feeling this way? I believe we have to look at different possible cause. This often happens in persons with diabetes. I will like to know whether you are being managed for diabetes or not.

I hope this helps with your worry. Am available for further exchanges and guidance so that we address this entirely.

Kind regards.
