Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is diagnosed through a combination of patient history, physical examination, and specific tests. Initially, doctors ask about symptoms like heartburn, regurgitation, and difficulty swallowing. A physical exam follows to check for signs of GERD. If needed, further tests are conducted. An upper endoscopy allows doctors to view the esophagus and take tissue samples. pH monitoring measures acid levels in the esophagus over 24 hours. A barium swallow X-ray can also highlight abnormalities in the digestive tract. Sometimes, esophageal manometry is performed to assess muscle function in the esophagus. These steps help confirm GERD and guide appropriate treatment.
