I have had GERD for approximately 15 years and have had several endoscopies, including one that detected a small segment of Barrett's esophagus (no dysplasia). My last endoscopy, almost 6 years ago, did not detect Barrett's esophagus. I am currently experiencing increased chest pain and heartburn due to stress and anxiety. Given my history, age, and symptoms, am I most likely overreacting or is there a real reason to suspect esophageal cancer?

I accidentally ingested rubbing alcohol from a nail salon. I tasted it on my mouth and tongue, and my lips feel weird. I have GERD and my chest has been hurting, but it's not new. Will I be okay, and is there anything I can do to make the taste go away?

My daughter just came home from the hospital where she was diagnosed with a 24-hour stomach flu. She is experiencing a heavy, painful, and uncomfortable feeling in her upper and lower abdomen, even though she hasn't eaten much since her illness started. What could be causing this and what can we do to help her feel better?
