Old man stuff – endoscopy

[Anquetil]

Hi VNA, sorry to hear of your health issues. I had an upper GI endoscopy nine years ago. Local anaesthetic was sprayed on the back of my throat to prevent the gagging reflex and to allow me to swallow the camera. This was done without any problems, with the camera stopping at the esophogeal sphincter.  Just had an urgent referral from the GP for another , but continuing into the stomach. I shall be having the local anaesthetic again, given the choice.Hope that everything goes well for you.
