[@aequanimitas]

Really appreciate these videos. For those of us with anxiety, it helps to know exactly what is going to happen.

[@Churchahead]

I would like to say how helpful I found this as I prepare for this procedure tomorrow. Very clear and informative. Thank you...

How was it?

[@hendrikvanharn]

Thanks for this. I'm scheduled for a gastroscopy in two days and am super nervous about it. This video helped calm me quite a lot. Appreciated!

[@gemmi1]

Thank you so much for this helpful informative video! I'm absolutely terrified to have this as have a major fear of vomiting. Is there any way to have a general anaesthesic to avoid gagging?

I have this coming up aswel as an endoscopy... I'm very nervous and suffer intense health anxiety.. I am having this test as my radiologist found inflammation of my stomach and I can't stop worrying

How did things go

[@msurbex]

@@emmettburke5231 thank you guys... It went well &, the procedure went really quick. They didn't find anything. Just irritation from antibiotics that caused it. But the only thing I suffered with for a week after the gastroscopy was excruciating ear pain (right side)

[@emmettburke5231]

@@msurbex glad it went well. I’ve mine on Saturday. Definitely nervous about it and also suffer anxiety

[@msurbex]

@@emmettburke5231 Thank you.... our nerves and anxieties do get the better of us. You'll be glad once it's over because you won't have all these worries. I promise the 'worrying' is a lot worse than what actually happens. Just stay positive. I know you'll be fine 🖤✨

Indwelling canula, final decision rests with the patient and their consent.
