About the procedure:
---------------------
1. Intravenous injection of 10mg Dormicum
2. Desensitizing spray into mouth and throat, which you are asked to swallow.

Sedative is quick acting and I was out in less than a minute. I woke up after 2 hours.
100% painless (except the injection).
Aftereffects: Slight dizziness which wears off in about an hour.
The whole procedure was much better than I expected. The best part is - you feel nothing.

Background
--------------------------------
I've been suffering from mild to moderate chest pain for about six months. Symptoms were: pain on the left side of the chest, about an inch below the left nipple, burning sensation, tightness of the chest. The symptoms were similar to those of angina. At first I was asked to have a blood test, chest X-ray and resting ECG. After return of normal results a heart related condition was ruled out and Upper Gastro-Intestinal Endoscopy was suggested to pinpoint the source of pain.

i aslo had it without sedative....but its really a whole lot of experience......l can feel the long tube moving in my upper gastric and and the gaging was soooooo dramatic..........i`ll never ever skip meals anymore...i didn`t know that by just skipping meals and eating spicy foods can give you gastritis..........

I can't believe they do it without sedatives! Where did you get it done? Even with sedatives I had a mild sore throat afterward. I used to skip meals and drink on an empty stomach.

I bet you surprised your doctor! Most people would like to be sedated during the procedure. But you are right, it's over now, take good care of yourself.

i had this done a number of years ago, doc didn't give me the correct dose of anesthetic and I was awake while they shoved the tube down my throat, I was screaming but they proceded to put a mouth piece in and hold me down instead of giving me more meds, bastards

[Ahadov]

Wow, that sounds horrible. For me they left the needle on my hand just in case if more sedatives were needed later on. You should slap them for doing that to you =)

Components

An endoscope can consist of

a rigid or flexible tube

a light delivery system to illuminate the organ or object under inspection. The light source is normally outside the body and the light is typically directed via an optical fiber system

a lens system transmitting the image to the viewer from the fiberscope

an additional channel to allow entry of medical instruments or manipulators such as tube to pump air and clamps to take a tissue sample.
