Heartburn Diagnosis
A person should seek medical help if there is an occurrence of forceful vomiting, and there is difficulty in breathing after the vomit. A cardiologist and a gastroenterologist assess a person’s heart health and digestive health and then devise a treatment plan according to the patient’s condition. Taking into account the condition and the severity of the patient’s symptoms, a doctor might recommend one of the following diagnostic methods:
Barium X-ray
If there is a persistent occurrence of vomiting, chest pain, and difficulty in swallowing, a doctor goes for the X-ray to view the shape, size, and condition of the tissues of the esophagus and stomach. The doctor lets you swallow barium and then use X-ray imaging to get clear imaging.
