Scope,stress test

Upper GI endoscopy has been done. I have medium hiatal hernia ,plus they did some biopsies .I received a letter from the GI doctor and he stated to go back to primary doctor to see what options are available to me. The letter also stated to go on a proton pump medicine,in which I am already on one, also diet, and loose weight. So I messaged my primary and then she referred me back to GI doctor.

Sometimes I think the medical field just gives u a runaround. Another question is why do when you have an upper GI endoscopy done does the doctor come in and talk to you when you are still out of it ?

Stress test has been done now as well this past week. I woke up with some chest pain ,as I have attribute this as acid reflux.Ultrasound doe of heart before a quick walk on treadmill,I have to note the warm jell from the ultrasound stopped the chest pain.Now on to the quick walk on treadmill ,I got breathless first,this is normal they stated, dizzy then chest pain started and off the treadmill  and back to ultrasound and to catch my breath , to tell the truth this was a blur until I caught my breath. A weird feeling in my right side chest. Nothing was seen to keep me ,so I thought I would have to wait for results until next week......
The next morning a call from my primary care physician and she stated since I had chest pain she is sending me to a cardiologist. That same day I got a call from a cardiologist to set up an appointment .
Appointment made for the next morning, went there and since I had abnormal reading on stress test I got to visit her, a brief family history , a check of BP, listen of heart, a few checks of pulses and now on another medicine due to stress test and a increase in pulse while getting up on table . So now I guess heart issues as well

Er visit

Well the end of November ,I was having chest pain,short of breath,very high blood pressure,called ambulance out here.They put me on EKG , didn't show that I was having anything ,so .I declined a ride and proceeded to go to the ER .Labs were done,x-ray ,Dr asked if I wanted to spend the night and get a stress test done in the morning, I came home due to getting daughter ready for school .So came home .
A visit to my primary doctor ,and she stated that the ER doctor wanted me to have the stress test so she sent a order for that.
Then I was thinking maybe it could bey acid reflux ,so I called my ear,nose throat person and went to them, then they stated they thought I should see another person ,a speech pathologist ,so she can scope me ,I have seen her and she showed me where my voice box and the puffiness on the top and stated I probably need a upper GI endoscopy done due to this .
So I am waiting for this to be done, and to think this all started from taking that steroid, at least maybe it just put more stress on my throat.
