I have to have a gastroscopy tomorrow and I am terrified. I have generalised anxiety disorder and for a couple of years the Dr's have put my stomach issues down to this, even referring me to CBT, now they have decided there is something going on in my stomach and I have to have a gastroscopy. I am having sedation but worried I will have a panic attack as they approach me with the tube, gag or feel as though I am chocking. Has anyone had this done with sedation? Any reassurance or advice is appreciated.
Thank you.
