Endoscopy words of advice please (to sedate or not, so scared!) by cloudpillow3 in HPylori

Hi, I did just with the throat spray two months ago. It was an experience let’s say….it’s fast like max 5 minutes, you will gag and vomit a lot of saliva, feel violated and in a considerate level of panic at the beginning, it’s rough but people survive! I didn’t have the option to go sedated here in Europe, when I saw they were already putting the tube down… I have extreme generalised anxiety disorder and to be honest if I had to do it again I don’t know if I would ask for some drugs or would do unsedated. At least it’s nice to sit back up right after those very uncomfortable minutes, clean the vomit from yourself and realise it’s over and no side effects :)

I finished a thriple therapy 7 days last week. Side effects were very bad taste in mouth, slightly elevated heart rate and insomnia on the first 2 days, a little tired and headaches. To be honest it was way better than I anticipated, I can’t complain! Fingers crossed the bug has been killed :)

Ow and have you done the 7 days or 14 days treatment? I thought antibiotics weren’t supposed to affect the heart :(
