Endoscopy

Posted , 1 user is following.

I have to have an endoscopy next week and am anxious about it. I want to get it done to find out what is causing my symptoms but I am trying to work out whether to be sedated or have the throat spray with the gas and air.

The thought that is really worrying me is gagging!! I have only to put a toothbrush in my mouth a bit awkwardly and I gag.

Would be very grateful for any advice?
