Thank you for consulting with Healthcare Magic.

You didn't mention what made the doctor do an Upper GI Scopy. Clinical details are required for making definite comments.

Anyway the scopy report says there is abnormal type of covering noted in the Oesophagus which is usually seen in Stomach. It happens due to acid reflux from stomach. They have taken sample from the abnormal region to rule out malignant changes.

They have also taken biopsy from normal looking area to check whether change is due to other causes than acid reflux.

A sample from stomach is also taken for doing CLO test to check for presence of pathologic organisms.

Hope I have clarified some of your concers. Please do revert with the biopsy reports.
