Answers:

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is an examination of the lining of the esophagus, stomach, and upper duodenum with a small camera (flexible endoscope) which is inserted down the throat.

I have had this done and it is an easy test. He will give you a twilight med and you won't even know what is going on.

It is not abnormal to fear what you don't know about. You will be fine. Anxiety is your worse enemy in this one!! Relax!!
