I had one today. I decided to go for the throat spay. Honestly it wasn't too bad. The throat spray stings a bit, tastes horrible and makes you cough a bit when you swallow it. It then very quickly numbes your throat ( which I don't really like the sensation of). I was told to breathe in through my nose and out through my mouth and concentrate on breathing. Lovely nurse with me to remind me and keep me calm. Did a bit of quick in and out breathing when consultant was moving the camera around and down but then suddenly all over. Could walk back to the recovery room instead of being zonked out like those who had gone for sedation. 5 mins later having some water, then cup of coffee and some biccies and was out by 12.30pm when those who'd had sedation and in before me were still on a trolley. Was told I could eat and drink anything I wanted as no sedation ( I asked even Prosecco? Told yes lol) "enjoy your Prosecco" was my goodbye from the nurses. sat here with a glass and some choc. If I had to do it again. Would defo do the same. Slight sore throat, but the drink is helping
