Re: upper gi endoscopy
Hi davey
I've had several upper GI endoscopies. However, each time, the tube was passed through my mouth into the back of my throat and then into my stomach. I've never heard of the tube being passed via the nose.
I was given the option of being sedated or a throat spray. I chose sedation. I think it was a small dose of diazepam that I was given. Worked very well and I got through it all. I just had to remain in the endoscopy unit until the effects had worn off, so I had a nice sleep afterwards.
Please try not to worry too much. I got a lot of support & encouragement from the endoscopy nurses who were great.
