Are you nervous about an upcoming endoscopic procedure?

Does just thinking about it make you feel anxious?

Anxiety about an endoscopy is completely normal. It happens so often that it's well studied by medical researchers.

But just because it's normal doesn't mean it's not a problem. Nerves during the procedure not only make you feel worse, they can also make the endoscopy itself more difficult.

The best way to manage your anxiety is to change the way your mind thinks about the procedure itself.

Why do endoscopies cause anxiety?

Whether you're getting ready for your first endoscopy or your 10th, you may struggle with how it makes you feel. Even when you know the procedure is nearly painless and will only lead to better health outcomes. So why do you feel this way?

The act of swallowing a long plastic tube creates a classic stress response in some patients. This can cause your heart rate to jump up and your thoughts to race. It often has nothing to do with how brave you are or how you feel about what the procedure might find. It's simply a natural reaction to an uncomfortable sensation.

Unfortunately, those natural feelings create unnecessary stress on your body and mind. If you want to move beyond them, you need to change how your body reacts.
