How will these tests help?
For the patient suffering from heartburn, the group of tests will help give an understanding of why they are experiencing the symptoms. These tests will measure acid levels, test the esophagus, and measure gastrin levels in the blood
The first group of tests includes the Gastric Acid Secretion Test, the Esophageal pH Monitoring Test, the Upper Endoscopy, the Barium Swallow X-ray, and the 24-Hour Impedance-pH Monitoring Test. These tests will help measure the acid levels in the stomach and esophagus to determine if the heartburn is caused by too much acid in the stomach or esophagus
The second group of tests includes the Complete Blood Count (CBC), the Esophageal Manometry, and the Blood Test to Measure Gastrin Levels. These tests will help determine if the heartburn can be attributed to anything else, such as muscle weakness in the esophagus or a higher than normal level of gastrin
