Can gagging effect the gastroscopy result

So I went for the colonoscopy and gastroscopy and had no sedation thinking it would be ok! I was wrong! It was horrendous! I gagged and brought up phlegm the whole time the camera was down my throat! Constant u til it came back out. My worry is can they still perform and see what they need to see? The lady doing it wasn't very sympathetic of kind and I worry it maybe a false negative if my stomach was constantly heaving? 

  • Hello and thank you for posting.

    I'm sorry you had this experience with these procedures.

    The team doing the tests will know whether they feel that they got the information that they need. If they are concerned that they couldn't perform them thoroughly enough they would repeat them.

    If you have any other worries about this do talk it through with your GP.

    Take care,

    Sarah.
