gastroscopy - risk of bleeding?
Hi everybody, My partner has a routine
gastroscopy
scheduled soon.Last month when he had a
gastroscopy
,they found no bleeding varices,however two days later he was back in the hospital with ... bleeding varices! Could the bleeding be provoked by
gastroscopy
?

Digital ulcer update
Have also had
gastroscopy
with Argon gas diathermy to treat G.A.V.E., due to have this repeated next week. Some good news, the Losartan and Sildenafil seem to be working, I am having less Raynauds attacks even in this cold weather. Keep warm everyone, spring nearly here.

Do I have lupus?
Colonoscopy and
gastroscopy
clear. Skin History of hives and allergic reactions in the sun (wear SPF 50 everyday of the year). Had a new rash appear on chest, scalp and neck about 4 months ago. GP doesn’t know what it is.

Taking pred on an empty stomach
I am having both a
Gastroscopy
and a Colonoscopy on Friday afternoon As I always take my Pred with food, would it be better to miss taking it on that morning on an empty stomach, ? I will also be taking more of the MoviPrep to clear the bowel, not very nice.

Please help me.
I even wake up at night because of them:( I have done colposcopys,
gastroscopy
,several scans of my stomachs. Ultrasounds on my uterine and I have even done a lumbar puncture and I will soon do another one because my neurologists wants to know that I don't have a too high pressure in my head.

CT scan booked but I'm on my period. Can I wear a tampon?
It says hospital gown supplied on my letter (said that on my letter for a
gastroscopy
but I just wore my own clothes) but can I wear underwear underneath it to wear a pantyliner? The other option is I bleed all over there machine.

Ongoing hell
Last week he was in dreadful pain, I called the doctor who arranged for him to have a
gastroscopy
, we went to the hospital on Tuesday, he couldn't be done as his blood pressure was so low it could have killed him.

G.A.V.E.

Stomach aches all day

gastroscopy
, a scan and a stool test and everything has come back normal. This has lead to me being very depressed as I now feel there is no hope at all. Can anyone help on this? I just want to go back to the way I was 3 months ago.

Any other anti coagulant?
This caused a gastric ulcer and oesophagitis and, after a diagnostic
gastroscopy
, Apixaban was discontinued. After a few week's break, I was started on Warfarin which I have been taking for just over a month.

Sedation for gastroscopy
I have Barretts and had 3 gastroscopies in the past- the first was fine as the sedation knocked me out. The second was unpleasant and I noted that I had 5g of midazolam. For the last one I received 2.5g and I thought I was fighting for my life - choking, retching, panicking. Now it's time for my next

IBS Linked With Anxiety?
I've been through the whole testing process via the NHS (flexible sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, MRI scans,
gastroscopy
, blood tests, stool samples etc) and everything has come back absolutely fine. The doctors have since diagnosed IBS.

Nervous & curious about endoscopy/gastroscopy
I'm really nervous about the whole procedure. I'm 20 and having my mum come with me as I think I'm going to have the sedation. Is there always an option to have this? I only knew about the sedation because I researched the procedure - there is nothing written on my hospital letters. I'm a bit worried

Ended up getting a
gastroscopy
that cam back positive with gastritis and the doctor sent me away with somac. Well somac wasnt working for me, i wasnt taking properly either so i figured that was maybe why.

Gastroscopy and Colonoscopy
Hi, has anyone had a
Gastroscopy
and Colonoscopy procedure? My appointment is on Thursday and the information they sent gives me a choice of SEDATION so I am asleep for both procedures or have a throat spray for the
gastroscopy
and GAS and AIR for the colonoscopy.
