I hate the wait before hand, I always find the procedure nowhere near as bad as I anticipate it to be.I hate endoscopic examinations
Todays was fine, the sedative works wonders

I had the first one without, I found once I managed to get it past the tonsils it was better.Ahh, I wasn’t allowed sedatives when I had mine so I almost choked to death
I went for the sedative this time due to nerves. I have health anxiety, so the wait for these things are huge triggers.

Thank you.
I have a CT angiogram on Thursday, my dad had early onset heart disease and they want to make sure the same thing isn't happening to me.
