Dr. Bennett Werner answered

Not unusual : A drink of water is often given during an upper GI series to precipitate heartburn. It causes esophageal reflux (which is acid splattering from your stomach (which has protection) up into your vulnerable esophagus (which has no protection) causing spasm and pain. ).
