A member asked:

I recently had sharp pain when breathing. dr said possible aesophagitis and am soon to go for endoscopy. please can u tell me more about aedopagitis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hmm. : Sharp pain wh breathing suggests pleuritic pain - the lining of the lungs. Esophagitis, by contrast, is usually mediated via reflux. Pain usually worse free a meal or drinking fluids - especially carbonated drinks...
