Brief Answer:
It is hard to comment upon it without clinical case details

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. The requirement of EGD (Esphagogastroduodenoscopy) or Upper GI endoscopy depends on the symptoms that you have and the probabilities that your doctor has in mind. It is hard to comment upon it without knowing about the clinical case scenario in detail.
