Hital hernia
I am having chest pain and burp for 5 months. Ecg , blood report all normal. So my doctor thinks I have gerd. But he has not asked for endoscopy yet. For 3 months, I am taking pantoptazole and antacid. I think I have hiatal hernia because when it started I was lifting heavyweight. Can I get endoscopy from one hospital/clinic  and show endoscopy to different doctor in different hospital . Will that doctor accept that report ? If hital hernia is found , can surgery treat ? What is cost of that treatment ? Also , can I get barium swallow test ? I beg you to answer all because I have consulted 3 different doctor but none said for endoscopy .
