Should my throat be really sore from an upper endoscopy?

Absolutely: The insertion of this apparatus down your troat will irritate the walls and structures . Its a temporary condition that if it does persist consult with your doctor.

Not likely: While the procedure itself is painless, however, minor throat discomfort may be present on awakening.
