Pain after endoscopy, do I need to see a doctor ??

some extra info but about half an hour ago i started getting pains in my upper stomach, if i swallow too much water it feels painful too but i'm wondering if it's just trapped wind because of the air they blow into you?

the doctors didn't mention that i would experience this pain though so i'm not sure, it's worse when i walk around

thank you

It is normal,to feel the symptoms you describe. In a few days it will gradually clear up.min yhe mean Tim it's very uncomfortable and try some tea with honey and I liked a throat spray for sore throats with numbing agent included. Many over the counter sprays. Also eat soft foods for a day or two. 

Take it it easy and I remember I lived on jello and icecream . At least I had a good excuse to eat icecream for a few days! 

 

The air they pump in could be causing some of your problems such as a feeling of trapped wind.  This is quite common. If your pain gets worse in the next few days, see a doctor. The doctor should have warned you of the side effects. I would ask why you were not made aware of what to expect afterwards.  The pain may be because you had biopsies taken or something has been disturbed.

I did not have the pains you described; only a mild rough throat and the procedure went well at the time at least from the specialist’s point of view. I had no biopsies taken and I remembered everything about the endoscopy.  However, my problems began within twenty four hours with severe depression from the sedation and it took me three weeks to recover from it. I was not warned about this side effect or any other problem either.  

Had I been warned, I would have opted for the throat spray or not had the procedure at all.  When I flagged the problem of depression, the specialist played it down!  I was a university student at the time and going to my classes really helped me through my depression and kept me busy.

I was not told about what kind of sedation I would be given either, which would have been helpful because I am hyper sensitive to all sorts of procedures and types of sedation.

By chance, a leaflet came throgh the post months after my procedure among other junk mail that described the type of sedation I had been given and detailed exactly the depression symptoms I had experienced.   At least I know now to detail all my sensitivities to medications and procedures any time I see my doctor or dentist.

I had one in 2016 and I only had soar throat but you can call and make sure is ok and it will ease your mind
