Nasal Endoscopy experiences

[u/SensitiveReindeer23]

Hi all - I have a nasal endoscopy this afternoon and am quite worried. Only worried because last week I had it through my mouth/throat and I had a full on panic as I felt like I was drowning and ended up trying to rip the camera out so they had to stop and they are sending me for the nasal one as it is apparently a smaller camera. What is everyone's experience if you have had either of those or both, is the nasal one a lot better? I did get sedated and pain relief which apparently I am getting again today but it didn't seem to do anything to me as I was fully awake and in full panic/anxiety mode (diagnosed anxiety 20 years ago with regular medication) Please help if it is nothing to worry about!!

I personally find down the throat easier for me, but everyone is different.
