Doctors are evaluating persistent heartburn symptoms using a miniature pH capsule in the esophagus to monitor gastric activity. See how gastroenterologists at Virginia Beach General Hospital conduct pH Monitoring with Dr. Jan Janson.
i had this done yesterday. The actual procedure wasn't bad (altho difficult finding an IV line since I hadn't drank anything in 12 hrs). I asked the doctor how long the sedation took to take effect and next thing I know I was in recovery. I was very drowsy all day, and my throat hurt. The diet restrictions are a bit difficult (no fruit- altho they show her in the vid eating fruit) and you have to keep a diary, but it's def better than the nose cathetar! Overall- no big deal.
thers some things that are not said its rare but sometimes with bravo ph moniter u have to be hospitlized to i was in screaming amount pain and most drs wants u to do it twice once off medcation and one on medcation

You know, money should be spent more on high tech medical machinery, than on damn weapons of war. This, and the pill (abdominal thing) is awesome!
