Which part of the world you seeking the diagnostics?
UK
Restech is US based company solution and may not necessarily be available on the NHS. There are private options available int he UK, if I read correctly.
NHS will do typical 24 hr ph monitoring, standard.
On the side note, if I were you I would just go for the first option available immediately at your local hospital, as the appointments are delayed for majorioty of people.
I had a 24 hour PH test recently. It’s vital for LPR to have a proximal probe as well as distal. I could see my LPR happening right before my eyes.
