Esophageal manometry measures the strength and coordination of your esophagus muscles as they move food to your stomach, helping diagnose conditions like achalasia and esophageal motility disorders. Symptoms of these conditions can include difficulty swallowing, chest pain, and regurgitation of food.
What to Expect
Preparation
You’ll need to fast for a few hours before the test.
During the Test
A thin tube is passed through your nose, down your esophagus, and into your stomach. You’ll swallow small amounts of water while the tube measures muscle contractions. The procedure takes about 30-60 minutes.
After the Test
You can resume normal activities immediately.
