I'm struggling with acid reflux and seeking advice from other forum users. Can anyone tell me what types of tests doctors use to diagnose and evaluate symptoms of acid reflux? I understand that endoscopies are one of the tests, but are there any others? Does the diagnosis process vary depending on the severity of the symptoms? I'd really appreciate any help or advice anyone can provide.

Yes, doctors can diagnose acid reflux. Endoscopies are used to evaluate the damage caused by acid reflux and to determine the best course of treatment. During an endoscopy, the doctor will insert a thin tube with a light and camera into the esophagus, allowing them to better visualize the damage caused by acid reflux. Other tests may include radiographs, CT scans, and pH monitoring. These tests can help determine the severity of the acid reflux and recommend the best treatment plan.

During an endoscopy, a thin tube with a camera is inserted through the mouth and into the esophagus to allow a doctor to view the organs and check for any irritation or damage caused by acid reflux. Other tests, such as X-rays, may also be used to diagnose acid reflux. Treatment for acid reflux may include lifestyle changes, medications, or surgery.
