Hi just got home from having my endoscopy was expecting the worst experience but nothing like it the staff ever so helpfull.
But the main shock was not having via the mouth but nose (Transnasal Endoscopy) no sedation just a few sprays to numb the nose passage and a few in the back of the mouth.
A bit of discomfit in the nose (my eye wept a few tears) and 3-5mins later all over and 10mins after that of home. No gagging or anything like taht just breath through the mouth you can even talk.
If anyone is having a endoscopy ask about the transnasal one http://www.transnasalendoscopy.co.uk/index.html
My only concern is that after my one i keep spitting up blood but they said that is because it irritated my nose.
That is the only thing freaking me out at the moment (But hopefully that will pass in a few hours.
Hope this helps anyone having a endoscopy
