      Disclosures

      The presence of certain "alarm symptoms" should prompt further investigation because patients with these symptoms are more likely to have peptic strictures or esophagitis. Alarm symptoms include the following:

      • Dysphagia

      • Odynophagia

      • Hematemesis

      • Weight loss

      • Anemia
