Manometry will indicate not only how well the esophagus is able to move food down the esophagus but also how well the esophageal sphincter is working to prevent reflux. Before the test Tell the physician if you have a lung or heart condition, have any other diseases, or have allergies to any medications.

The pathophysiology of gastroesophageal reflux disease is secondary to physiological and anatomical malfunctions. The lower esophageal sphincter must be physiologically and anatomically normal to prevent gastric contents from being refluxed into the esophagus. Frequent relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) increases the risk of GERD.
Understanding The Lower Esophageal Sphincter And Why It Weake…
The esophagus carries food and liquid into the stomach. At the lower end of the esophagus where it enters the stomach, there is a strong muscular ring called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). The LES should remain tightly closed, except to allow food and liquid to pass into the stomach. Reflux occurs when the LES is not working properly.
