Hi [@Flower5757]‍ 

i have now had 3 endoscopes with sedation and have both COPD and brittle asthma.

They gave oxygen during the endoscopes and I had no breathing issues at all, either during or after.

I hope it all goes well for you.

Thank you. I'm not looking forward to it!

Hi, 

I might be speaking 'out of turn ' here, but with my experience and my husbands to draw on.

Take everything that is offered !x

i did it with sedation many years ago and it was 'great'- didn't feel a thing or even remember anything. Got a taxi home and slept it off.

Husband didn't and well, I am still having the 'description'  a year later LOL.

You wouldn't have been offered it, if you were not 'fit' enough.

Hi I have the endoscopy on monday and have not been 'offered it's as yet, it's an option  along with throat spray on a standard medical form.  I have copd so i wont find out until monday if I can have a sedation.  I would prefer sedation, I assume it will depend what my heart rate and oxygen levels are on Monday.
