Endoscopy

Posted , 3 users are following.

hi I have had a problem with vomiting for almost 6 months now. i posted on here a few weeks ago. cutting a long story short i have been vomiting every day now since the start of may. i had my second endoscopy yesterday as they needed to take several biopsies. as i went into the room for the procedure, the doctor said he had to wait as my heart rate was too high. after about 5 minutes it had gone back down so was able to have the sedation. as they began the endoscopy, a minute or so into it i was retching uncontrollably. they had to abandon it as it was too unsafe. i had an endoscopy about 2 months ago and i had no retching at all, only initially as it went down. i have got to now wait to have it under general anasthetic. i am now a bit worried as to why i was retching so aggressively, since yesterday i have been sick constantly and am even unable to keep water down this evening. any one else have this problem with endoscopy? and help or similarities would be really helpful
