Sure...: You're right not to take any testing lightly, but an expertly-performed endoscopy under monitored sedation in a certified center with superbly-trained personnel is an in & out experience that will surprise you at its ease. Share your specific concerns with your physician & let him educate you about risks, benefits, & alternatives so you can make an informed & assured decision to proceed.
