Yes I agree and have visited with my pulmonologist and since things are not getting better he feels that I need to be scoped. I just worry because I have had this done before and I have a bad gagging reflex but my chest is tight short of breath especially with just walking to the kitchen that I need to know what’s wrong nothing is helping.

Cathy 58 I had a fungus in my lung before. I am curious of how your test come out. I wish you all the best.

They can use a very short acting paralytic to help with the gag reflex. Just let them know when you schedule. It may require a short stay in a same day surgical center
Have you explained your concern to the doc?
