Q: is there anyway to have and endoscopy without having to be put under general anesthesia? what are my options?

: Many ENT physicians perform an "office endoscopy" without anesthesia via a thin endoscopic device threaded through the nasal passages. It is not completely comfortable, but allows for upper esophagoscopy to determine degrees of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).
