Nope: What did the upper GI show? It may be reflux, costochondritis, anxiety, esophagus spasm or other issues ? The endoscopy was likely to determine if u had an ulcer or changes from stomac acid near the esophagus. See what that reveals. Gd luc.

Possibly....: There are esophageal conditions that are irritated by endoscopy such as eosinophilic esophagitis. Alternatively, this could be abnormal and potential cause for concern. Hard to say without full details. Recommend discussing with your doctor.
