Basically as the title says, I’m due to be put in for endoscopy and I’m really scared, I have had a camera put into nose to check thyroid goitre , but was wondering if anyone had had this into stomach, if so what was your experience

Had the sedation, wouldn't do it without. Ended up passing out/falling asleep and have very little memory of it. The camera up the other end was much, much worse, I'm NEVER doing that again without a general anesthetic.

Mine was throat to stomach, but I can imagine it's much the same as nose.

Did they say it would be put up your nose. I Just had an endoscopy and they don’t put it up your nose. They put it down through your mouth. I opted for the throat spay. Big mistake it was so painful so they offered me conscious sedation and it was brilliant, I remember them giving me the sedation into a vein and then the next thing I remember is them wheeling me out of the room all done. I tried thinking about it but can’t remember them putting it down or anything. Another lady had full sedation. They might offer you that . Good luck with it.
