Video Outlines Testing For Reflux Or Abnormal Esophageal Muscle Activity
Our office has created a new video describing what a patient goes through when they undergo esophageal manometry as well as 24 hour multi-channel pH and impedance testing.
This test is often ordered when a patient is suspected to be suffering from reflux, whether acid or non-acid, or is possibly suffering from abnormal muscle activity of the esophagus.
Symptoms that a patient may experience that may lead to such testing include:
– phlegmy throat
– lump sensation in the throat
– chronic throat clearing
– chronic cough
– difficulty swallowing
