I do plan to follow up with an upper GI/endoscopy and possibly a nuclear stress test. The biggest issue for me right now, is my breathing, so I think I'll be having a pulmonary test as well.
Just remember every procedure has risks associated with it. Recently spent three frightening days in the hospital after routine colonoscopy resulted in perforated colon. Best health care is to take good care of yourself, eat well, exercise and lose weight. If you can avoid the snake oil salesmen that call themselves Doctors you are likely to live longer.
