A member asked:
Had bouts of acid reflux for years, and had an endoscopy done in 2014 (normal). symptoms have returned and remained for a week. is esophageal cancer?

Very unlikely: It is very unlikely in a 31 year old. It is much more likely a recurrence of the reflux. Try an over-the-counter med such as Prilosec and see if it helps.

Cancer: At 31 unlikely cancer, however best to check back with GI if still having problems.
