Trans oesophagial echocardiogram when they use an ultra sound device down your throat to look into your heart.
Thank you for that. It just gets better. I'd definitely need a general anaesthetic for that one!
in reply to dianaharv
Bob is correct as always i had one in 2013 with sedation and was fine prefer that to general
They knocked me out for mine as they were doing a cardioversion at the same time.
I had two within three days in April this year. No sedation/anaesthetic. Not entirely pleasant, but just relax into it. Being able to see the scan on the monitor, I found it fascinating.
Not what you're looking for?
