Key Points
Esophageal Manometry:
The gold standard for diagnosing achalasia, this test measures the pressure and muscle contractions in the esophagus.
Barium Swallow Test:
A series of X-rays to visualize the esophagus and identify the “bird-beak” appearance typical of achalasia.
Upper Endoscopy:
Rule out other causes of dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), like tumors or strictures.
