Okay - On Wednesday I had an endoscopy. They also removed a sample from my stomach. Fortunately the test they did showed no big problems just a lot of inflammation which they are not sure about.

When I had it done I chose to not have either the spray of the drugs because I'm trying to stay away from any chemicals in by body. Let's just say it wasn't pleasant feeling like I was choking and lying there with my body trying to be sick and gagging like mad, but the staff were great.

However since then - I keep randomly getting this mildly intense pain in the top of my stomach. It comes and goes just for a few minutes every few hours/minutes depending on how I'm sitting or what I'm doing. It's a bit like heartburn if that makes sense.

Obviously I could call a Doc - but it's out of hours now. So can't really be bothered hassling them. Has anyone else had this and is it normal? (I'm not bleeding, so I'm sure that it's nothing serious).

I sympathise, I had this procedure in the summer . Simply horrific.
My face was massively bloodshot after , I only had the spray .
For my issue they cant do much. I have a rippled winpipe which means food occasionally gets stuck , but not in my windpipe.
would go back to them . Take care!
