Endoscopy

Hi, 

I am really worried about the amount of times I have been for an endoscopy (1 dilation) I have been vomiting for about 5 years when eating. It seems to be getting worse and I now have a sore throat and ears. As normal no appointments available with GP. Do I go for the next endoscopy appt and just talk to them there?

  • Hello Dirky,

    It's a good idea to you talk to them at your next appointment. Do share your concerns with them as you have here and write down some questions to take with you if you have any, this will hopefully help you get the most out of the appointment. If you need further support you can call the Cancer Research UK information nurses on freephone 0808 800 4040. The lines are open from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday but if you feel your situation is urgent do call NHS111 and they will be able to assess the situation and get you to see someone if necessary. 

    Best wishes,

    Moderator Anastasia
