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
