text: I was diagnosed with Barrett's Esophagus over ten years ago. Do I need an endoscopy?

  Hi. I was diagnosed with BE over ten years ago. Actually the gastro who did my scope didn't even tell me that I had BE. I found out only because a year later, his office started sending me letters telling me it was time for my annual endoscopy. I saw no need in another endoscopy (since I knew nothing about the Barrett's), plus I had no insurance. Now, all these years later my new doctor is advising me to have an endoscopy. I don't want to but I've been having heartburn out of the blue lately. I never eat spicy foods. Am I just being paranoid?? Thanks!
