I have been struggling with acid reflux for over 12 years now, that being half my life (24). I have been scheduled for an EGD before, but did not end up going through with it, from fear of being sedated.. My symptoms have worsened and my current PPI that I have taken for the last 5.5 years has stopped being effective. I often wake up puking and choking in my sleep, so I really want to get this scope done before things get more dangerous. Can anyone share their experiences that may make me feel more comfortable with my upcoming procedure. In reality I know sedation isn’t that scary, and have seen multiple conscious sedations being performed, but I can not get that fear out of my head.
