● Recurrent heartburn

● A nagging cough or shortness of breath

● Pain or discomfort that keeps coming back

● Weight loss for no apparent reason

● Unexpected blood loss from any orifice (including post-menopausal and post-coital bleeding)

● Difficulty swallowing

● Feeling full despite eating very little

● Hoarse voice or sore throat lasting more than three weeks

● Any persistent health problem that worries you
