I had one BMB and was told I could not be sedated because I have sleep apnea, so I only had an injection before biopsy I guess too numb the area inside, baloney it hurt!! I do not understand why not sedation I have had Endoscopies where they go down your throat and I was out for them. I hope I never have to have another BMB if so I will demand something.

If they didn’t do sedation on everybody that has sleep apnea, nobody would get sedation. And they don’t even ask that question when I get my endoscopies or colonoscopies. That sounds like they don’t have adequate staffing in terms of licensure and expertise to do sedation.
Yes, by all means insist.
