I have many different symptoms lump feeling in my throat horrid taste in my mouth problems swallowing worse on a night clicking sound in my throat and a tight feeling around my neck chest and upper back pain. I’ve had lots of e c gs showing normal. I’m due to have an endoscopy in 2 weeks absolutely worried sick. I don’t feel like I have any acid so can this still be reflux?

      I had it done last yr.

      I opted for the sedation as didnt want to be with it. It was the first test of that kind in my life.

      I dont remember anything.

      Later on that day i could feel in my chest that something had been inside me. That was it. As gentle as that.

      Its very important to have it done. One can learn a lot about their body.

      Thank you for putting my mind at rest. Do they offer sedation I can’t stand the thought of it if not. Yes I do agree it’s important to have it done and to be honest I can’t carry on not knowing what’s causing all these symptoms

      In the UK they ask u if u want a local numbing throat spray or sedation.

      If u not sure ask about it. On aedation u wont be allowed to drive afterwards that day.
