Hello everyone
Two months ago, I started having anxiety. Due to my anxiety, I wasn't able to eat very well. I was hungry, but just had no appetite. This lasted for only a few days.
But after then, I just wasn't able to eat the same amount as I was before.
The last two weeks, I started to suffer from a lot of burping, burning sensation in stomach, and just not being very hungry at all (now I have the appetite, but just no feeling of hunger).
I went to my GP, and she said it was due to anxiety (which I understand, because i also had chest pains and headaches that went away) and put me on 300 mg ranitidine (something like omeprazole). She said to wait. But I didn't wait, and went to a gastroenterologist. He immediately said to do a gastroscopy (he didn't really know about my anxiety).
The gastroscopy is set for monday. I don't know if I'm gonna cancel or not, because I'm really scared, especially of the sedation, because I'm afraid to faint/lose control.
So I would like to know that IF I do it, if it's doable without the sedation? So just with a throat spray?
And second of all, can those symptoms be due to anxiety?
