Scope should show: If there was a problem. If scope was normal and you still have a problem you might want to ask for a fluoroscopic swallowing study to be done

Dysphagia : dysphagia is a common symptom which is sometimes difficult to diagnose. Most often it's due to GERD, which is not always visible by endoscopy, Rarer causes include eosinophilic esophagitis, pill induced esophagitis (including Cipro), and esophageal motility disorders. Sometimes acid suppression and/or esophageal dilatation help. Return to your G.I. doctor if you're not better. Good luck.
