Endoscopy for GERD Diagnosis: Does it Hurt?

Not all all! Depending on the season the sore throat is more from just being dry. They always offer you a drink after so make sure to have some water and you should be fine!

It’s very safe. You won’t feel a thing. I also had a colonoscopy as well.

It doesn’t hurt! The worst would be a bit of a sore throat.

No. When I had mine I couldn’t even tell they did it. I was asleep the entire time.

They did my colonoscopy and endoscopy at the same time and they put me in a twilight (sleep like state) for it so I basically took a nap. I went in fell asleep and woke up and it was over, felt nothing

i had mine the same time as my colonoscopy, the only thing i remember hurting is the iv lol

Same! The anesthesia did all the work. I had bad anxiety too. Breath and try your best to relax when going into the room. You'll taste metal before going under and wake up in no time.

I could not feel mine at all. I had anesthesia for it. I did have a little sore throat afterwards and the next day, but it cleared up quickly.
