Bravo capsule test

Hi everyone, I am due to have the Bravo test done tomorrow and I decided to have a google to calm my nerves but after reading posts on here back in 2008 I am now debating cancelling it. I am 24 and have suffered with heartburn everyday for 4/5 years, I have had the endoscopy and an attempt at the 24 hour test however couldn't get the tube down as I have a terrible fear of choking and food being stuck. Is there anyone who has had the test that can truthfully tell me what it was like? Thanks.

Thanks Sharon! That makes me feel better. I’ve just gotten home from having it placed so far only my throat hurts just off the endoscopy itself. If you don’t mind me asking what sort of things did you eat and drink when having the capsule?

Thank you I appreciate your responses! Do you happen to know what pH it needs to be at? And how long did yours take to fall off?

Thanks

Thank you!! Did it feel different when it fell off? I’m onto my 6th day, the study has finished and overall it hasn’t been that bad. However, I woke up twice lastnight due to the pain of the capsule and today it is hurting more than it has over the study, is this normal?
