My GP had referred me for an endoscopy as even with 300mg ranitidine a day I have gastritis. It was caused I think my long term nsaid use for joint pain.
I had an opportunity a couple of years ago and the worst bit was coming round completely unable to swallow due to the numbing spray, and I know that's what they'll offer me.
Has anyone done it with no pain relief at all? Or with sedation, does that mean they don't need to numb your throat?
I feel really bad as I don't want to waste their time but think I'll freak out when I'm there and they won't be able to do it :(
