How do you swallow the tube and camera for an endoscopy?

Question

I'll definately gag. Do they push it down and do you feel like gagging?

Answer 1

I was out with anestetic when they put it down my throat, but they will numb your throat, but you may still feel the pressure of it going down sometimes.

Answer 2

Your mouth and throat will be sprayed with medication that relaxes and freezes the area so you will have no gag reflex at all and you will not feel it going down. It is slipped slowly into your mouth and throat.

I never even felt it going down. Also you are given meds to keep you calm which also helps.

Answer 3

u wont have to swallow they will introduce it to your throat slowly with lube good luck
