Next time, ask about the pH probe. For this test they insert a catheter into one nostril, down the esophagus and into the stomach. The other end of the catheter is ostentatiously taped to your nose, then snaked back behind one ear, down one side of your body, and is then attached to a portable gadget probably much like the BP monitor, also anchored around the waist with a belt. Hint: do NOT eat caramels while probe is in place; they may adhere to the catheter with unpleasant results e.g. bloody nose.



Seriously, hang in there, the test will be over before you know it. When I wore the Holter Monitor (for monitoring heart rate) I went to... THE OLIVE GARDEN! and had pasta primavera, just to say Fuck You to the Establishment.
