A barium swallow test is a safe and commonly used initial investigation that helps visualize how your esophagus moves and whether there is any narrowing, obstruction, or abnormal motility. You’ll be asked to drink a liquid containing barium contrast, and X-rays will be taken as it moves through your esophagus.
