What Could Be The Reason For Sore In The Esophagus?
yesterday, after eating a hamburger, I experiences significant soreness in my esophagus, specifically at the gatroesphageal sphincter. I thought maybe I had indigestion so I took some rolaids which helped for a short time. When I got up this morning it was still sore and has continued to be sore. Could I have bruised or scratched it?

Hi,
The soreness in the lower esophagus is obviously due to esophagitis.
This can occur due to the reflux of the acid or the bruising as you dorrectly thought.
Take PPI, antacid, motility regulator and soft bland diet,
Get an endoscopy done to ascertain the cause to get a proper treatment .
