A member asked:
Is it an endoscopy side effect to have mild chest pain and an increase of heartburn after this procedure ? i have never been gerd patient.

Endoscopy: It is possible to have chest pain and heart burn after an endoscopy because of the mechanical trauma to the esophagus and junction of the endoscopy tube. Generally we give antacids and h2 blockers or other agents after the study to minimize this if anticipated.

Yes: If there is irritation of esophagus and stomach this is possible. You should review with your physician to make sure no other processes are at play.
