Lump In Throat. Diagnosed With LPR. PH Normal In Restach Test. No Burning In Esophagus. Is Bravo Test Needed?

hello Ive had a feeling of a lump in my throat for over two years. Ive been diagnosed with LPR however Ive had the Restach test and my PH was normal. Ive had a barium swallow and esphogram and both were normal. Endoscopy biopsy was normal with hiatal hernia sckatkey ring and gastritsis. Drs. want to do Bravo but I don t have the burning in my espogus and if the 24 hour test with my larynx came back normal I don t see a need for the Bravo. Thoughts

Hi,

I have read your medical history and could suggest to follow your GI specialist advice. If they want you to do Bravo, then, go ahead and do it. In nowadays, all of us have the possibility to get checked, properly diagnosed and get treatment in time.

If Bravo would result normal, then, you will sleep in peace excluding such serious problems.

Take care!
