Esophageal manometry is a diagnostic test done to identify abnormalities in the esophagus, which is the pipe that connects the mouth to the stomach. It determines if the esophagus is able to move food properly to the stomach. It is commonly done for people who find it difficult to swallow, have pain while swallowing, and people with chest pain and heartburn.
