I did not have the same procedures you are scheduled for, but had a biobsy at Mayo gyn in office in Rochester. I found staff very compassionate.

I am sorry the person you talked to on phone was rude and did not take your concerns seriously.

Tell the provider your very nervous about procedure. Sometimes our anxiety makes it worse.
One suggestion I have is concentrate on breathing during procedure. Slow deep breaths. I use that technique when having MRIs or biobsy. It also helps keep my BP under control.

Do you use any techniques to help with anxiety that can be used during the procedure?

I often travel for procedures myself. If I stay in Rochester and am at a hotel offering shuttle, most do, then I can have anesthesia because I'm not driving. You may check into that as an option. I have periodically egd procedures where I am sedated

I do some breathing exercises but struggle when it comes to pain and my asthma seems to act up more when anxious for whatever reason.
I do take dail anxiety meds. I’m trying to get ahold of my doctor to see if I can take extra and if so how much.
