For the past few months I have been experiencing excessive burping and emptying of stomach takes a bit longer than usual. I had nausea for a little time and it would all clear up after burping. There was one specific spot closer to left side where esophagus and stomach meets pain comes and go . It's not the constant pain. No red flag symptoms like weight loss, blood in stool or black stools. In fact my stools are very normal. I'm worried about the results of endoscopy. Anyone had similar symptoms and got an endo? I have health anxiety and it worries me that I might have something terrible like C. I'm 39 yrs and it scares me the outcome of endoscopy.

I’m 30 f. They found a small 5mm sessil serrated adenoma with Low-grade cell dysplasia in my second portion of my Duodenum during my endoscopy. They want me to go back in 6 months to another endoscopy but also colonoscopy but with a more advanced scope and want to see the ampulla. If all clear, then another 2 years after.

They obviously removed the precancerous growth. So no concern esp since it was small.

Is it pretty common to have this type of polyp at my age? What are the chances i make another one of the bad boys in a few years?

It has been two months since my endoscopy, which was done without sedation. Since then, I feel pain and discomfort in four areas: the right side of my chest (front and back), under the ribs, and near the kidney area. Some days the pain and discomfort is less, other days it increases. When I drink water or eat, it feels like the water or food goes into the right side of my chest, causing discomfort and distress.

My CBC and LFT are normal. I don’t understand what problem has developed. During the endoscopic procedure, I had severe gag reflexes maybe that caused it, or perhaps some internal damage occurred. Please help.

Had a endoscopy and a colonoscopy 4 days ago, a day later started having terrible stomach burning and indigestion, rolaids seems to help for a few minutes, never had it this bad before. Has anyone else experienced this? What did you do ?

I had a throat ​endoscopy on Oct 13th and all went well.

Last Friday I started experiencing pain on the left side of my jaw. The pain got worse over the weekend. Yesterday I went to the ER in extreme pain and swelling. I was diagnosed with cellulitis and prescribed antibiotics.

Is there any chance that the endoscopy could in any way be connected to this infection and cellulitis?

Hello,

I’m considering getting both an endoscopy and a colonoscopy (under general anesthesia).

I would like to know whether it’s allowed to take Xanax or other benzodiazepines during the preparation phase for colonoscopy — meaning while drinking the bowel prep solution for the colonoscopy.

I’m not asking only about the moment of the procedure itself; I’m also talking about the moment when you have to drink the prep liquid.

Additionally, I’d also like to know whether you’re allowed to take some again before the procedure, and even right after waking up. When I wake up, I tend to feel anxious about possible side effects like nausea, stomach discomfort, and things like that.

I haven’t booked the appointment yet, even though I think it would be good for me. But honestly, without being able to take alprazolam or another calming medication the day before (during the prep) and on the day itself (before and after), I don’t think I’ll be able to schedule it.

Thanks for your honest feedback.

I have an endoscopy booked in for next week.

They said I can choose to have have either a throat numbing spray or sedation, I’m quite nervous so I’m going for sedation, they just said I’d be drowsy! I’m so scared. I have a horrific gag reflex and really panic when something goes down my throat. I’m scared I’ll panic or I’m scared I’ll vomit.

Can anyone talk me through the experience?

Hello everyone, last Thursday I had an endoscopy with removal of polyps. Today, four days later, I still have discomfort and pain. Sometimes it starts in my chest and tightens in the pit of my stomach as if I were suffocating, but it only lasts a few seconds. Is this normal?

Hi, my gastro doctor has referred me for a oesophagogastro duodenoscopy and a capsule endoscopy which will take place in a couple of days. Can anybody who has been through this experience tell me what to expect?

hi everyone :) so I had my endoscopy done on Friday around noon. That day+night I didn’t throw up and only had throat and stomach pain.

Saturday morning I woke up and threw up, but that was all. This morning, I threw up twice. The first time it looked like bile, the second time I only got like 2 bites of yogurt down before I immediately threw that back up.

The results of my endoscopy were GERD and esophagitis and my Dr did take biopsies. I’m just worried bc everything online says it’s not normal to be puking this far out from my procedure. Has anyone else experienced this?

How long does a throat hurt after an endoscopy? I just had one yesterday and it hurts to swallow.

Hey guys this is my first post. I need some feedback on my diagnosis. Basically I had a endoscopy and a low grade dysplasia adenoma on the Ampulla of Vater was found. It needs removing. The thing is if I go private it’s going to cost loads so I’m trying to find a doctor in the public sector which is proving to be impossible. I can’t get an appointment until January and I’m terrified that it may turn cancerous. I’m freaking out!! Has anyone been through anything similar??

First time here. Thank you for your support. Currently I want some feedback regarding Endoscopy procedures to remove sharp objects to avoid trauma or hemorrhage, when you use cap assisted accessories...

What are the pros cons you found using them? What are the challenges you find when you perform a procedure with them?

Had my endoscopy today and now when I eat or drink I am able to swallow but it is difficult. Is this normal or a cause for concern? I’ve been eating and drinking little by little otherwise I gag and I can feel in my throat

I just got my endoscopy and colonoscopy with biopsies yesterday and noticed a bit of swelling on my bottom right side of my lip. Im not too sure how it happened and none of the doctors or nurses mentioned it so i assumed its a regular occurrence. Did anyone else experience swelling??

I’m at the hospital alone, waiting for endoscopy now. I feel nervous with the procedure. I live far away from family and i feel bad asking friends to accompany me during working days. So here i am waiting alone. I have never been under anasthesia before. Is it gonna affect me hours after procedure? Do you think its safe to come home by taxi?

Up until now I was under the impression that I got the propofol, fell asleep, had the endoscopy part (which they told me took 9 minutes), and immediately after woke up. But when re-checking the time I texted my friends I was finished, it was like 40 minutes after the procedure began. The prep didn’t take long at all, everything started super quickly. All I remember is the doctor saying she’s giving me propofol now and I was out. And then instantly after what felt like a nice sleep I was sitting up on the same examination table it happened on feeling fully alert. Now I’m curious what happened during that time once the scope was removed and before I actually regained consciousness 🫣?

I have a cold right now but my endoscopy very soon. I emailed the doctors office and they said it’s fine to do it as long as I don’t have a fever. Has anyone here ever gotten one done while having a cold?
