I had this test on Monday August 17th 2020. I was on the monitor until Wednesday at lunch time. I have been having severe pain since the capsule was put into my esophagus. It is now Monday the 24th of August and I still can not eat anything but liquids. I can chew food and swallow but when it gets almost about mid chest the pain is so severe. I am having a lot of nausea as well. They told me it would fall off and pass in the stool. Has not happened. I can no longer stand the pain. I have an appointment for an X-ray and office visit tomorrow.

Im scheduled for a 48 hr Bravo test myself on the 29th an was doing research. I dont like the fact that it has a battery inside an now you claim other things. I already have swallowing difficulties but thats from my Lyme disease. And i dont have GERD but its like they are insisting on this. Actually its my Drs phys Assistant thats not listening to me.

THIS BRAVO TEST IS THE WORST THING!! I rather give birth to my children naturally again than go through this pain!!! IT’S AWFUL AND WHAT MAKES ME MAD IS THAT MY DOCTOR WHO PLACED THE CAPSULE SAID I SHOULDN’T EVEN FEEL IT AND I TOLD HIM WELL GUESS WHAT I DO FEEL IT AND IT HURTS BAD THEN HE SAID WELL IT IS GOING TO FALL OFF IN A COUPLE OF DAYS HE DID NOT CARE.. I AM THINKING ABOUT GOING TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM ! THIS THING NEEDS TO COME OUT I ALREADY HAVE ESOPHAGUS ISSUES (had several EDGs to dilate my esophagus because it closes up from being so narrow and I have an esophageal ring or stricture) SO THIS IS CAUSING ME MORE ISSUES. WHAT IS MORE FRUSTRATING IS THAT THERE IS SO MANY HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT A BRAVO PH STUDY IS!!! I KEEP TRYING TO EXPLAIN IT TO THEM AND THEY HAVE NO CLUE!! YOU DEFINITELY DO NOT WANT TO TELL THEM YOU ARE HAVING “CHEST PAIN” BECAUSE THEN THEY WILL WASTE TIME TRYING TO CHECK YOUR HEART WITH THE EKG MACHINE. IT’S YOUR ESOPHAGUS!! YOU HAVE A FOREIGN OBJECT ATTACHED TO IT YOU CANT EAT OR DRINK WITHOUT PAIN !!

My daughter had this procedure in October and the first one failed and they had to deploy a second which meant keeping her under longer. The second then failed in less than 48 hours so the test was a complete failure. My daughter had sever pain in her throat and could not eat properly for almost a week after. Even soft foods and liquids were very painful. Now they want to charge us for this and want to do other tests. Not going to put her through that again to confirm what we already know.
My son had it done 6 years ago and had no problem but he was 2 years younger than she is now. Not sure if this was an issue with the device or the doctor. All I know is we will not be doing that again and I have started a review with the hospital.

I brought the subject up to my doctor before placement and she acted like I was being a woos about the whole thing and stated that she only had one person come back in for it to be removed. She said I find it hard to believe that there is that much feeling in the lower esophagus. So I thought, ok...maybe I shouldn't believe what I read on line and I allowed her to place the Bravo. I have a pretty high pain tolerance and I have had numerous surgeries and procedures done, but this is excruciatingly painful. Had mine put in yesterday and I feel awful. I would NEVER choose to do this again. I pray and pray I don't have issues with this falling off on it's own. I don't think I can handle this for an extended period of time. I cried lastnight while drinking water. There has to be a better way to do this test. Make no mistake about it...it really hurts.
