hb, please dont be scared of the endoscopy, i put it off for 5 years through being terrified until my partner begged me to go, so i did, 9 months ago and they found nothing more than a small hiatus hernia, which did not need treatment
i completely understand your fear, we have stomach cancer in the family so i was petrified, i was shaking uncontrollably when i went in, i had the spray and boy did i feel stupid when it was all over in just a few minutes and didnt feel a thing, so please dont be scared and you never know it may put your mind at ease.
As for it getting better when you eat, iam exactly the same and found myself snacking through the day, as the symptoms went away for a while. kerrie
