Hospital Bad Choice?: See: https://www.healthtap.com/#user_questions/1393104. By history, the pop tart (a very unhealthy processed food) initiated an esophageal issue/pain. Good assistance is done by working with people, asking questions, clarifying history, explaining anatomy/physiology, troubleshooting; but takes time; people (especially insurance) won't pay much, so Docs order tests which pay more despite Low Value.

May be from: pop tart chunk scratching the esophagus, You can try some liquid antacid and it will take a few days to heal.
