Has anyone else had a gastroscopy with sedation but the sedation didn't work? I had this done today and I don't think they gave me enough sedative. I didn't feel drowsy or sleepy and I remember the whole procedure. I've been sedated before for a hysteroscopy and I definitely "drifted off" and can't remember a thing about the procedure. This felt nothing like that today. The nurse got in a tizz when I made an off the cuff remark about my husband saying I might have sleep apoena because I snore and before I knew it the consultant was trying to talk me out of sedation (because of risks with sleep apoena) and said I could have gas and air instead. I don't have sleep apoena!! It's not diagnosed, I haven't queried it with the GP, it was a simple remark and I've had sedation and 7 GA's before and been fine!! I think they gave me the lowest dose possible and it did nothing. Absolutely nothing.  I'm very annoyed as I was particularly anxious about this procedure and feel like my wishes were not properly respected. I have to have a repeat scope in 6-8 weeks and I am now petrified.
