Endoscopyyy repeat
I had last endo around 20 months back which showed GERD ( LES completely open) and small sliding hernia.. I took meds for some time then left it.. Then full 2019 no symptoms hence no meds and my diet full of junk food.. Since lockdown started I am having painful swallowing and mucus in mouth frequently. Doc says no need to repeat endo and stay on meds for 2-3 months atleast.. I have been pushing him for endo but he keeps telling me that acc to guidlines if first endo didnt show signs of damage then second shud be repeated after 3 years only.. Plz tell he if he is right or shall I change doctor
