Has anyone had a endoscopy without sedation, was it ok? Does anyone with copd or asthma been able to have an endoscope with sedation? Thank you.

  • Hi, 

    I might be speaking 'out of turn ' here, but with my experience and my husbands to draw on.

    Take everything that is offered !x

    i did it with sedation many years ago and it was 'great'- didn't feel a thing or even remember anything. Got a taxi home and slept it off.

    Husband didn't and well, I am still having the 'description'  a year later LOL.

    You wouldn't have been offered it, if you were not 'fit' enough.

  • Hi I have the endoscopy on monday and have not been 'offered it's as yet, it's an option  along with throat spray on a standard medical form.  I have copd so i wont find out until monday if I can have a sedation.  I would prefer sedation, I assume it will depend what my heart rate and oxygen levels are on Monday.
