The gastroscopy

On the 5th October 2019, I had a gastroscopy, an endoscopic examination of my oesophagus. Not that pleasant but was OK, could have been worse. An antiseptic spray numbs the throat a bit so you can't feel the tube going down. Biopsies were taken during the procedure so I realised that something had been found. the only problem I had was with the release of all the air pumped into my stomach, it was painful trying to sit up afterwards until I had burped it all up. In the subsequent wrap-up with the doctor, they wouldn't commit but it was pretty obvious that something was in my oesophagus that should not have been there.
