I am about to have gastroscopy today after a previous failed attempt where I only took a minimal dose of fentanyl and ended up pulling the tube out myself three times. I am now going for sedation (Midazolam and Fentanyl) but wonder if I can do it without the lidocaine throat spray as most people say that was the worst part of the procedure for them. I wonder if I would have a sore throat, dizziness/headache for long after the surgery. I have had several sleepless nights about this:(
