A member asked:
What happens during an upper endoscopy? how long will it take to recover?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually: You have mild sedation for the procedure and a numbing spray for the back of your throat. Otherwise you shouldn't feel anything. After, your throat may be a a little sore but you should not have any true pain especially if no biopsies were done. Back to your normal routine the next day.
