Ulcer diagnosis - Endoscopy
My mom had a stent procedure due to heart attack last week. This week Thursday cardio doctor suggested to get a chk up with gastro doctor for her ulcer problem. She is weak due to the procedure and in bed rest. My question is, can she get the endoscopy with local anaesthesia?. She cant bear pains and so checking for this option, if this can be done during endoscopy by getting local anaesthesia so she wont feel any pain.
