I am due to have a gastroscopy on Friday morning - I should have had it in summer but my heart rate was so high after making me wait for 3 hrs that they wouldn't do it so saw the consultant again and explained anxiety problem and he said I will get you in first thing in the morning with me personally doing the test and you won't have to wait at all - will still have to have the initial pulse and bp which is when my anxiety goes throug the roof and my heart races as they approach me with the machine - I am praying the sedation works as when I had a colonsocpy two years ago the sedation was negligible:weep:.
Then this week I had a review with my Dr for bad hip back and leg pain I have had for a month now and she decided she wanted to rule out hip problems so I had to have x ray of hips and pelvis and loads of blood tests to rule out any rheumatiod problem so all that today and they took alot of tries to get blood.
Then I had ent appt as follow up to one 6 months ago and was expecting to be in and out in minute but different Dr who said I want to look up your nose and sprayed local anaethesia into nostrila nd stuck a camera up it:shrug: it was quick but interesting sensation and said all was well.
I am so dreading friday and the camera down throat as I have had one 6 yrs ago and although the sedation was great I still remember gagging and I hate having the cannula put in for the sedation - not to mention the worryign that something will go wrong even if the consultant is doing it himself.
Wish me well
