Colonoscopy and endoscopy are daycare procedures and you need not be much worried about those all you need is to be on empty stomach before carrying out these procedures prior to these procedures you would be given mild sedation so that you won’t have much difficulty during the procedure don’t hesitate it is better you do an endoscopy first if needed colonoscopy can be done.
