A member asked:
I had a endoscopy and have been told i have thickened lower oesophageal muscle at goj does this mean i have something sinister. i don't have an appointment for 6weeks?

A thickened lower oesophageal muscle at GOJ does not mean a precancerous condition such as Barrett's esophagus. If your symptom is trouble with swallowing (dysphagia), that could be the cause and you may need a oesophageal dilatation.
