Hi all, I'e been suffering from pressure/indigestion pain in my upper GI tract for some 9 months. Some reflux and CONSTANT burping (at a considerable volume - nothing like a regular burp pre-symptoms) and generally feel continual burning, discomfort and pain around my throat going down towards my sternum.

I was referred to Gastro and the consultant offered me either a barium swallow endoscopy, I optd for Barium ad he said it would give the most comprehensive results. It came back normal. I then had 24hr PH monitoring and motility done - again normal. These tests weren' a typical day as I' been NBM before they were done and my problems are at their worst after food and drink.

The consultant has discharged me and won' do an endoscopy to check the condition of my esophagus. I'e read a lot on the fact that different things can be seen on Barium Swallow tests and Endoscopy- so why wont they do this for me? I'm not even 40 and am really finding the discomfort unbearable especially trying to care for 2 children and be my usual, happy self. 

I think the consultant has suggested I be referred to ENT but I strongly feel this is a digestive thing.            Anyone have any thoughts on this?  Thanks so much in advance
