A member asked:
What are the complications of endoscopy?! in case i wanted to do it for acid reflux
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually none.: Upper endoscopy is generally a very safe procedure. It often involves mild conscious sedation. There is a rare risk of perforating the esophagus, although it is very infrequent.if your doctor feels that it may yield information which would be useful in treating your Gerd, you should consider it. Good luck.
