I don’t think it’s typical at all. I don’t blame you for being concerned. I’ve had two bronchoscopies and never experienced any discomfort. I would definitely talk your doctor and the anesthesiologist about your experience to make sure that never happens again. Good Luck.

Thank you so very much, lvalenti! That is all I wanted from my inquiry. To see whether anyone else had the same experience as I did. Now I feel I could tell my pulmonary dr about the last experience. Needless to say, I fired that doctor. The one doing my procedure on the 3rd is my new pulmonologist.

Only go where they do dozens a month. I believe it is best to have latest technology i.e. robotic bronchoscopy. Only go where they have latest technology. Virginia Mason in Seattle is one of six centers of excellence for robotic bronchioscope.
