Hi sis, share ko experience ko; ako din super takot magpaendoscopy as in! My doc said i will be sleeping during the endoscopy session pero still syempre kinakabahan pa din ako. Dami kong tanong nung prep time;
[textspeak!] unang kumakausap sakin is the anesthesiologist. He stuck me with dextrose and sprayed my throat with something that tastes like spicy bananas to numb my throat. Tapos nung malapit na
[textspeak!] doctor dumating, he injected na anesthesia sakin, and he said ill feel sleepy. I did feel a little woozy, kinda calmer, pero i didnt fall asleep! Dumating na yung doctor ko and lalo ako nagising! Even when nagdagdag pa ng anesthesia sakin gising pa dn ako and my doctor stuck the tube down my throat and told me to swallow. I gagged a few times and was told to swallow and then i could feel the tube poking inside.
I can tell you this though, endoscopy is very doable. I was able to do it while i was awake and im a huge chicken and hate visits to doctors. Nothing is painful, just a bit uncomfortable. Gagging does not hurt, it just comes naturally. Youre not nauseous so its not that bad. You can breathe normally through your nose and mouth even if there is a tube inside you. Biopsy does not hurt, i didnt feel a thing as i was too busy feeling the tube inside my esophagus. Very weird feeling. When they pumped air inside to see my stomach better, i burped really long and loud and normal reaction daw yun.
Actually if they told me that theyll do it to me awake i wouldve protested but it was a good thing that i didnt do it asleep. I was able to recover faster. You'lll be ok, no need to worry cuz its a quick procedure.
Next time i would probably still do it while awake.
