Does A Biopsy Cause Chest Pain?

Had an upper GI Endoscopy and Colonoscopy today and have been feeling fine until I ate dinner. I had a hard pretzel and chewed it up normally, but when I swallowed I had some pain in the middle of my chest. I had a biopsy today with the Upper GI Endoscopy, would this be pain from the biopsy? Now 9:30pm and paid is a little worse. I drank some water and was painful in the middle of my chest again. Should I be concerned or just take pain meds and stop worrying about it?

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

* As per my surgical experience, the pain here is due to gastritis induced by pretzel consumption after recent procedure over the stomach.
* My recommendations at present

- Drink more liquids in sessions.
- Prefer soft, easily digestible food stuffs.
- Avoid hard stuffs, dairy fat, spices.
- Take a proton pump inhibitor as Omeprazole or Lansoprazole with sips of water and sleep.
- Avoid to take any type of pain killer.
