I just got my egd and bravo today morning. Everything looked good inside but I still asked the doc to biopsy the esophagus before I went under. I must tell you that I was stressing like crazy before the procedure to the point that the nurse had to put a cold towel on my forehead and do some breathing exercises with me (I'm a wimp). I had really bad heartburn this morning and was a little short of breath from reflux so my anxiety was to the roof. Before they put me under I said I can't catch my breath and then the sleep doc said my oxygen was at a 100% and that's the last thing I remember. Woke up crying which happened to me with my egd two months ago as well (don't know why) my mom came in the nurse went over the pager one more time, talked to the doc for a bit and shortly after was on my way. Thank god I don't feel it inside but when I swallow there is this funny sensation like an electric spasm after I swallow. Trying to eat bad and smoking and surely feeling it now. Cleaned my closet made sure I bend down a lot now laying down almost flat as I'm writing . So far felt reflux, chest pain and tightness but no heartburn which my mom is working on by making dinner which involves frying. I'm a little scared to eat thinking how horrible it will make me feel need some words of encouragement.
