In order to help diagnose the condition, your doctor will likely ask you a number of questions. This can include questions regarding any other medical conditions associated with the disease, or of any recent accidents. They might also ask you about lifestyle choices such as how much alcohol you are consuming.
In some cases, a red blood cell count may be requested, which can help to identify a bleeding problem. In addition, you might also be asked to undergo an endoscopy. This is a process while involves inserting a small camera into the esophagus to help look for permanent damage.
