i had an endoscopy yesterday to see whether there was a splinter lodged in my throat.

nothing was found thankfully.

this was done with no sedative.

i gagged a lot during the process.

i have a sore throat and achy muscles today.

i also have a metallic taste in my mouth as if i might be bleeding in my oesophagus possibly. it's making me feeling nauseous.

Is there any concern?
