hi
thanks for posting in HCM
I have understand your concern

chronic ulcers or repeated ulceretation leads to scarring of the tissues and narrowing of the lumen of the affected part

EGD showed suspected narrowing

swallowing test - it is barium swallow test , barium is a radio opaque material seen on x ray , patient ll be given with barium orally followed by x ray to check the uniformity of your esophagus or stomach ..comparing to normal part , narrowing is best assessed with this test.

hope this ll help you
thanks .
