is guided through your nose and down into your esophagus. * You will then be asked to swallow sips of water over a brief time during the study. * You will not be sedated for this exam, so


you do *not* need a driver. 24 HOURS BEFORE YOUR STUDY Unless we’ve told you otherwise, STOP taking these medications: * Amitriptyline (Elavil) * Anisotropine (Valpin) * Atropine (Atropen) *
