Hi everyone,



Unfortunately my doctor has told me that I shuold get an endoscopy done and because I'm so scared of being sick or gagging the thought of it really really makes me frightened. Anything else I would be able to cope with but the thought of something going down my throat, and being there for 10 minutes is terrifying... I wouldn't mind the discomfort but the gagging and vomiting aspect of it all is the problem. I thought maybe an emetophobe would be the best person to ask because no one seems to understand my fear...



Plus I read somewhere that in the U.K you cannot get both the sedative and the throat anesthetic so you have to choose, is this true?



Please help if you can, something needs to ease my mind!![img]smileys/smilies_12.gif[/img]
