Bravo PH

I had a brovo HP test done in  2006 and I have problems now with my arms and legs and have random chest pain in the are where it was. Can this test cause nerve danage?

This pain did not exist before this test...and it feels like it is still in ther sometimes. Sometimes when I roll over it feels like hell.
If I eat something hard and it hits the spot I want to scream.
I had another scope and they claim there was nothing there.
Nexium does not help....Lyrica works somewhat, but makes me forget stuff .

Since the capsule is pinned into the lining of the esophagus and is nowhere near where the nerves to the neck could be impacted by it's presence, it's unlikely that the bravo had anything to do with it.

If you had the bravo test done it was probably to check for the presence of acid reflux. It's possible that chest pains could be related to acid reflux if that's what was found.
