    A doctor may recommend a wireless esophageal pH test if you have symptoms of GERD, such as heartburn or regurgitation (food coming back up into the esophagus) that are not relieved by medication. The test can also help your doctor assess how well your medication is working to relieve the GERD. You also might undergo wireless pH testing before having a transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF) procedure. Your doctor may consider another esophageal pH test instead of or in addition to wireless pH capsule testing, such as 24-hour impedance testing, upper endoscopy, transnasal esophagoscopy (TNE) or esophageal manometry.
