should i go through with an endoscopy if i am feeling sick?!


Question: Should i go through with an endoscopy if i am feeling sick?
2 days ago i was around children with either the flu or pneumonia and now im going in for an endoscopy in 3 hours and i cant seem to leave the toilet because i feel like throwing up and i have a terrible headache. should i go through with the endoscopy or re-schedule it?

Answers:

Yeah nice answer Shayla (I am lying of course) No you really need to continue with this procedure. If ill and light headed please bring a person that can get you there. Sit in the back seat and lay down to take pressure off your stomach. They can give you medication to help with the illness as well as to keep you hydrated. So yes keep the scheduled appointment and get this checked out while your still able to carry your own weight.

Profession: ER DR



if you feel like crap see if you can re-schedule, if not, bring a bucket

oh yes, and if you go tell them you don't feel well, they ll give you something before they do your endoscopy. :)
