I once had a Endoscopy done and tried to do it without sedation and ended up having a panic attack and pulling on the doctor's equipment! not advisable.
If your Medical insurance allows it, opt for sedation.
Definitely with conscious sedation.
Hello, Tammy. I had a gastroscopy a few years back. I would recommend the sedation - it is not painful, just uncomfortable. I would not do it without sedation, myself.
Hi,,,sorry, I can nor remember this procedure,.....but if u have an option to be out it could be a reason for it.
U know how u r with pain and how u tolerate it and how comfortable u r with the procedure.
Ask ur Dr the reasons he offers sedation, and how it may benefit u.....
