In 2 weeks, I am going to have an endoscopy since I have gerd. They are going to check for inflammations and other structures in the gastro system. I have been on Nexium for around 2 months now, but I still continue to have reflux symptoms (heartburn & regurgitation). If I keep taking Nexium for the 2 weeks the procedure, would it affect the accuracy of the test?

Call the office of the doctor who ordered the test and ask the staff this question. It is too important to trust to the answers from lay strangers on the Internet.
While I doubt it would change the outcome of the upper GI, you really should ask your Healthcare Provider that information. They are more familiar with your case, and back ground. It could be dangerous to alter your meds without speaking to your Physician.
