An upper GI endoscopy is a procedure where the doctor examines the lining of the upper part of your gastrointestinal tract, which includes the oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Your doctor will use a thin, flexible tube called an endoscope and will view the images on a video monitor.
An upper GI endoscopy is conducted to check for known diseases affecting the upper GI tract or to help diagnose or detect a variety of conditions, such as:

Some medications may interfere with the preparation for an endoscopy. Please let your doctor know what medications you are taking and if you have any drug allergies.
