Hi there!

None of the symptoms described specifically indicate oesophageal caner as a cause. The trouble with google for medicine is that any symptom can be related to almost any medical condition and it does not help in making a diagnosis. With the described symptoms, possibilities that may need to be considered include stress/ anxiety, URT/ GI infections, inflammation, GI motility issues etc. I would suggest discussing the situation and the suggested management plan in detail with your treating gastroenterologist after the endoscopy is done.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
