If you are talking about endoscopy. A 2-3 min of bit of discomfort mainly in the throat. However since they apply anaesthesia, it's not that troublesome .

Thank you very much Jennaf1045 for the info I really appreciate it. Is the MRI standing or laying down? I was told the test takes 4 hours?

the MRI is a lay down machine. you may feel a little claustrophobic because the machine will be very close to you for 4 hours. nothing to worry about, they normally turn on the tv for you and they make the room warm so if youd like you could also take a little cat nap 😃)
