Yes I was very nervous and I had sedation but was awake very strange feeling but it was not a bad feeling. The whole process lasted minutes and afterwards I couldn’t really remember anything about it .. I remember saying to the nurse after if I had actually had it done !! Honestly you be fine

No, after it was done I went recovery ward for cup of tea and sandwich and had to just wait for results which showed inflammation areas .. and they go through results with you. Then send you home you can’t drive. So arrange transportation. I went tesco straight after most enjoyable shop as I was still chilled from sedation. It soon wears off thou. Please don’t worry though I worried far too much for no reason in the end.

I remember they did give a throat spray also .. if you’re concerned about anything speak to whoever checks you in on the day or speak to someone prior to your appointment I’m certain they will have an answer to any concern you have .. let me know how you get on .. try not to worry as it makes everything seem a million times worse
