What you need to: know first is the diagnosis: what is the cause of your esophageal pain? Presume you have chest/upper abdominal pain and believe it is esophageal. While elaborate tests may not be needed, you need to present your symptoms to a doctor for a diagnosis to be made. If reflux or dyspepsia, then trial of anti-acids, acid (H-2) blockers or acid release inhibitor (PPI) needed with diet/weight loss.

Need more informatio: The most important thing is to know the cause of the esophagus pain & discomfort. Taking any medication is shooting at something in the dark. You must first find out the cause of your complaint. Ask your family physician to recommend a gastroenterologist who will examine you to find the reason why you have pain and then prescribe the best treatment.
