Hello!

Thank you for the query.

You should have gastroscopy done. Esophageal narrowing, achalasia should be rule out. Especially that you have acid reflux history. This condition can lead to Barretts esophagus which is a risk factor of a cancer. That is why, biopsy during gastroscopy is advisable.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
