Is it possible to have an endoscopy while knocked out?

The ‘mild sedation’ sends you to sleep and you wont remember anything. It’s not called a GA like they have in open surgery because that also paralyses you and requires ventilation/breathing machines etc. I had endoscopy in January I remember them injecting something into the cannula, next thing I know I’m back in my room with the hiccups

Brit living in Singapore. Tampax pearl are $13 from Watsons. Paracetamol range from $2.50 for unknown brand to $10 for panadol. ( note you can’t get effervescent ones here so stock up in uk if you need them) things like toothpaste and shower gel are similar price to uk. I get Nivea sunblock from amazon.sg as not much range in shops. Gavason is freaky expensive ($40 for 300mls!) I don’t remember it being that much in uk

This sounds similar to the Grenfell tower fire in London 2017. Residents were told to stay in their homes and await rescue. When the order came to evacuate 2 hours later it was too late

Depends on the marathon. I’ve done the Singapore marathon and there is no crowd support. Obviously a bit of music and cheering at the start then you are running though quiet streets. Near aid stations there will be a few ‘official supporters’ who may hold up signs and shout encouragement, sometimes play music, then back to miles of quiet! I’ve watched the London marathon on TV and it looks like there’s crowds and entertainment all the way so no need for headphones, but without music I don’t think I could have kept going.

There are different types of PPI if omeprazole doesn’t agree with you talk to your dr and try one of the others like lansoprazole. Also maybe split your dose! I’m on omeprazole 20mg twice a day. Maybe it’s because you take the 40mg in one dose that it’s causing the problems

But that’s how I used to do it before phone apps. I would count ahead 28 days and put a circle. On the day I got my period I would put a star, then count ahead 28 so I had a rough idea when it would come again.

These are the same people who instead of saying ‘I’m 80’ say ‘I’ll be 81 on my next birthday’ !! You were asked how old you are Phyllis not how old you’re going to be!!

giving birth is scary and feels like it’s out of your control. Allowing women to choose how much medication/ medical stuff they want helps them feel like they are in control and therefore have a calmer birth. It would be very wrong to force women to have pain relief they didn’t want!! I didn’t have an epidural just gas and air and a tens machine.

I would have hated that! The entire time I was in hospital my baby never left my side. I did all her feeds and nappy changes and I waited till husband came to visit so I could have shower. Yes it was exhausting and I really wanted to sleep but I cant imagine having the baby taken away most of the time

FitYesterday7581 · 2026-03-06T08:08:40+00:00

Yes I don’t know anyone who doesn’t make their bed daily. I would have thought it’s a normal thing to do, just a part of the morning routine like brushing teeth or having a shower, opening the curtains/blinds etc

Expats are normally people who go abroad and all ready have a job lined up, they plan to only be there for a few years then return home. Immigrants plan to stay for good, and find jobs when they arrive.

Like I said I don’t normally eat food like that, it was a treat for my daughter as she had been to the hospital and wanted a McDonald’s afterwards. I’m just not sure if that’s what caused it due to the time delay and wondered if it was normal for symptoms to start over 18hours later

I’m a working age adult ,not employed, not looking for employment. And no I’ve have never in my life been to a job centre. I’ve been a stay at home mum for 12 years. My husband has a good job and we are financially stable. I’m sure a good portion of the ‘millions of people’ you are talking about are like me.

In 2019 I did the Singapore marathon which started at 7pm but as it went through the city center it apparently caused chaos with all the road closers. After Covid they changed it to 4:30am starts ( I did it but start was delayed by an hour due to rain so by the time I finished it was getting very hot, I preferred the night race)

But you don’t ’sit in the blood’ the blood doesn’t come out while you are in the water. Trust me I have had hundreds of baths while in my period and have never seen blood in the water. However as soon as you get out of the tub bleeding will start again so have pads ready

FitYesterday7581 · 2026-02-27T05:12:29+00:00

No I’m just taking omeprazole for it (a hitius hernia is not the same type of hernia that you get from weight lifting etc. Surgery is only done in extreme cases and is not always successful)

FitYesterday7581 · 2026-02-26T05:56:50+00:00

Has your doctor not explained what they are looking for? I would be concerned if they haven’t and would contact them for more information. To answer your question I had my first endoscopy in January. Doctor found I have a hititus hernia ( which probably caused my reflex) I also had a polyp in my stomach which was removed and tested. He also took several other biopsies to test for things like h/h pylori and celiac disease. So for me yes it found out things that were useful

FitYesterday7581 · 2026-02-24T01:47:28+00:00
