Re: Upper Endoscopy fears
i had this test after 2 yrs of unexplained stomach issues and they found nothing.
at the end of the day - if something is wrong - it is better that you know because you can get it treated but i bet you they find nothing x
i had it without sedation - it wasn't the nicest experience but totally copeable with so try not to worry to much - it is over with literally in seconds - they are really quick x
Re: Upper Endoscopy fears
hi i had this the other wk i can honestly say theirs nowt to it and i have reg panic attacks lol they push a tube down Ur throat and look around they took a biopsy as well i never ever felt a thing
Re: Upper Endoscopy fears
This test is very safe and the tube is very slim so don't worry about choking. They numb your throat with a spray anyway. It's really quick and you get an instant diagnosis so please try not to worry. Endoscopies are done every day in hospitals. They are a surefire way to find out exactly what's going on inside!! Maybe you have bile reflux like me and you may have to take a different med - and remember, it's never the worse case scenario that we imagine!! I hope you get on okay.
