Have to see the ENT, tube up the nose...eek!

My lung dr is concerned about my airway and wants me to have it checked. I'm pretty sure it means a nasal endoscopy. Listen people I barely survived the regular endoscopy with lots of drugs and you want me to sit there with no anesthesia and let you put a scope up my nose??? God help me. When will all this test bs be over. I thought I was done and was getting ready to submit to insurance but I hit this roadblock. Anyone by chance have this done? I feel like every ounce of my anxiety disorder is being tested with the testing and the surgery so I hope I survive it. Any words of encouragement are appreciated, I'm kinda stressed. Thanks!

We're you not out for the endoscopy? I was totally out and didn't even know they did it. Not sure what the dr has planned for your next test, but seems to me you may want to question why all the extra testing and concern. Make sure there's a legit reason for it and all. Drs like to milk the system and it's a waste of insurance and your time.

I had it done! OmG it sucks got ng in your nose intil it reaches the throat then you do different breathing tasks followed by taking 10 sips of water one sip swollow wait ten seconds without taking a swollow after thay first one please don't swollow or it starts over yes really sucks! But I was okay after 3mins

Yes I was awake for my endoscopy. Thanks for letting me know what it's like. I'm really scared, I'm so over this. If I don't have it done the lung dr won't sign off a clearance for me for my surgery and game over. Son of a ....

You will be fine once the tube is in your nose it's just not something we're used to but it took my test about 15 minutes.
