I am having test done, I have been having some real problems,
I have Acid Reflex, now I have problems eating and Drinking.
The test will tell my Doctor if my esophagus is able to move food to my stomach normally.
I will be seated while the tube is inserted. I may feel some discomfort as the tube is being placed,
They will lie me down, the end of the tube exiting my nose is connected to a machine that records the pressure.
I will be asked to swallow a small amount of water to evaluate how well the sphincter is working.
As the tube is pulled into the contractions in the esophagth as I swallow,
This test lasts 20 to 30 minutes.
I will have a soreness in my throat.
Thank You for asking how I am.
