Hello. According to the symptoms you provided, your doctor advises you to go for an esophagoscopy, to check if your esophagus is really narrow or it's just your subjective feeling.
Endoscopy will help you accurately check if you have esophageal spasm or if some physical injury is pressing on you, causing you to feel that way. Based on the results of the endoscopy, the doctor will have the right advice for you.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards.
