Bravo

Posted , 5 users are following.

Hi, has anyone heard if you can get the Bravo Oesophageal test in Ireland instead of the awful Ph 24 hour test? I've only read about it on the net and it would appear it's only in USA. Seems a much more humane way of testing for acid content as they attach a clip to the oesophagus and you wear a belt round your waist for 48 hours. Every time you get any symptoms you push a button on the belt and they can then get a reading 48 hours later. Anyone got any feedback please??

Thanks

    No sorry I had the 24 hr test

    I haven't heard about this test.

    The 24 hr test is a little uncomfortable.

    Is this test better ??

    I had the test recently in the UK ,its much better because there is no tube stuck down your nose. I did have it done privately, not sure if the NHS do it.
