Hey you guys, I've got an endoscopy in a couple days due to not being able to swallow solids for the past month - they get stuck and I have shortness of breath the whole time it's going down. But I am terrified.
If I can't swallow solids without struggling to breathe, how will I swallow the camera?
They say I have to be sedated. When I'm asleep, I sometimes stop breathing. This will be conscious sedation but I'm still scared that this will happen, I'm terrified that I'll die under sedation. I've never been sedated before.
I am just so scared, I cry every time I think about going to have this done.
