i just had a colonoscopy last week and didn’t have any of the dizziness I experienced in this video after my upper endoscopy. i think i was just having a bad POTS week lol. don’t let me make you nervous. i was fine the day of after my colonoscopy and had no issues

You talking about dying is so real because I go through the same emotions 😭. I have an endoscopy scheduled for this week and this video made me feel better about it ❤️

So sorry that it they weren’t able to find anything! Something that’s helped me lately is just setting a timer when I eat (so that I’m not eating too fast) and chewing my food reallyy well.

“I was convinced I was going to meet my fate that day.” Girl same 😂

Nothing to worry about. I had mine done today and the sedation is actually a good feeling almost like all your stress is out the door before you get to sleep. Then you wake up and you hear the nurse say you’re all done. Felt like nothing happened except a very nice relaxing nap. I promise nothing to be nervous about.

Im glad u r alive and everything went pretty well!
For me i know my POTS is linked with trauma, both my own and generational trauma. Im sure u already know this but trauma lives in the body and attacks the nervous system. Our stomachs are very affected by our nervous system. For me i know that my POTS is why i have acid reflux and my anxiety from my trauma is a big trigger for my physical health issues. It seems like maybe childhood trauma or especially having covid and having your life ruined and constantly worried about hurting yourself or dying has been traumatic for you. Im very sorry you're dealing with all this. So it would make sense that your acid reflux making your throat feel like its closing would send fight or flight signals to your brain, giving you anxiety, upsetting your stomach, and making your acid reflux worse. Its a terrible cycle.

When my acid reflux was at its worse so was my anxiety and so was my ear aches. It felt like i had an ear infection and the pain went down my neck. I had everything checked by specialists and it was my stupid acid reflux.

I stay away for acidic things as much as i can and take omeprozole when i need to which has helped. However the most lifechanging thing that i did that immediately helped my throat and ear aches and acid reflux was wim hoff breathing. U can find tutorials on youtube. Long story short it's a breathing technique that regulates the nervous system. It also stimulates the vagus nerve which helps with stomach health. If you haven't looked into the vagus nerve and the stomach and acid reflux I would highly recommend that. But I shit you not the first time that I did the Wim Hof breathing technique I had immediate relief. It may take some people a few tries to find relief. My only issue is getting myself to do it everyday and that's really hard for me. I hope this helps.

Get well soon :D

I done it the other day with no sedation. Walked in, had it done and walked back out within 5 mins. Was torture but wasn’t drugged

Dealing with the same thing! The Vagus nerve is something to look into.

Omg! So im not alone. Long story short been struggling with GI symptoms for years was suppossed to do and ENDOSCOPY AND COLONOSCOPY and never scheduled it because of my fear of being put to sleep and not walking up. Crazy enough (ofc since my phone listens to me when I talk) since im having my colonoscopy in 2 days im kind of to a point to get it over with but I know once im there ill be terrified all over again.

I can’t believe this video popped up on my feed right after I had a doctor’s appointment about acid reflux. I’ve been dealing with mine for at least 6 months, and I related so much to everything you said. It ruined the way I could eat to the point where I’ve forgotten how it felt to not have this annoying lump feeling in my throat. Even the doctors I’ve been seeing couldn’t pinpoint the exact root cause of my acid reflux. So, all they could really do was give me meds, lifestyle advice, and diet changes. They do help alleviate my symptoms, but I’m at the point where I don’t know if my body will ever get to back normal completely. It’s always been hard to explain my case to other people. So, I’m glad to see that I’m not dealing with this issue alone.

I feel you.. had on and off issues for years but been consistent for 2 mths. The worst is the chronic cough I have. Been to the ER too, its miserable. I hope you feel better 🙏🏽

i have the same problem, look for neuropathy docotor, they especialize with vagus nerve disfunction which is causing digestion problem.

Apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon in half glass of water before eating helped me . Give it a try , I feel burning sensation while drinking it but soon after heartburn goes away

I've got to have one at the end of this month. Im really nervous. About to watch your video now. ❤

I'm being paranoid and searching up vlogs on these cuz I'm having both too for internal bleeding tho - so glad there's hospital scenes too! thanks for sharing this even tho it was a year ago hehehe

Hope you found results, but just wanted to share that my daughter has POTS as well also has gone though similar things with constant dizziness and feeling unbalanced as well as many other things including acid reflux, she recently underwent her 2nd endoscopy ( the fist finding nothing a few years back) Doc took a biopsy to see if she had lactose intolerance but ended up finding out she has a sucrose intolerance ( her body doesn’t make enough enzymes to bread down sucrose). We know that this will probably not solve all the symptoms she has but thought I’d share as many things you mentioned sound like what my daughter has been through. Also Nexium ( prescribed by her doctor) really helped her acid reflux.

Came to this vid in anticipation of my upcoming third endoscopy, but first one in a long time after having a nightmare experience with my last scopes (sedative meds didn't work for the colonoscopy and was wide awake feeling everything). So I'm just so nervous about any of these scopes now. But the throat close feelings are so bad! Though, I will say that my acid reflux is SIGNIFICANTLY more regulated and better with 40mg daily of Esomeprazole (like Prilosec, but better... I believe it's the generic for Nexium). It is my life saver! If you or anyone else is still struggling with GERD and acid reflux, I definitely recommend taking it FIRST thing in the morning. I hope you're feeling better! I feel for you 💯

Thank you for describing your symptoms at the start of this video. That's exactly the same as what I'm getting, but I've struggled to find those exact symptoms come up when I've searched online. So I was doubting whether it's part of my acid reflux or if it's something else entirely like an allergic reaction. Glad to finally find someone with the same symptoms...

You’re very lucky they put you out to have the procedure. In the uk they do it wide awake with just a numbing throat spray.

I’m so scared to get one! I’m scared to get bad results 😢I don’t know what to do I’ve been having bad acid reflux I’m taking emeprozale and famotdine that’s it but I hear it can be stomach cancer and all these bad things..I was negative for hpylori.. pray for me to have strength to go see what’s wrong with me 😢
