An unnecessary medical procedure, a patients lung function can be assessed easily by a simple spirometry tube, its probably used as a study rather than an obvious diagnosis, hospitals have a good way of making money, the government gives them money and if they don't use it the money will go back to the government for other projects, this lung function test procedure is a waste of money.

I’m glad i got informed about how it’s going to be because i was worried. My procedure is today at 2pm. This video calmed my anxiety.

This woman would irritate the shit out of me.

I don't like how techs talk like robots when giving instructions.

I have to do this in a week this looks scary

Saturday night live skit.

I go for this and a colonoscopy on the same day February 28th. It’s the anniversary of my dad’s death. Actually, the day WE, his kids, found out he was murdered. I will absolutely come back and tell you how it goes. I will be going under of course. ❤

I'd love to have my heart and lung functions tested in a first world country. I was born with a defective heart valve, so I guess lots of pathological stuff would be discovered. Living in a third world country means being checked and tested by mediocre "medical practitioners."

I avoided getting an endoscopy done for six years until i HAD to have it done. I was put to sleep through the process. And i woke up feeling like id just had the best sleep ever. And thinking i cant believe i put this off for six years! Im weeks away from having another endoscopy with no fears 😊

Best video I’ve seen yet. Explains everything. Thank you

I couldn't blow out i think because i didnt position my tongue where i can blow out

Y endoflip and bravo is this Wednesday and the hospital I'm going to they bring you straight to the procedure room

Took one today and failed. I couldn’t do it

Had endoscopy under sedation but apparently they were not able to finish it because I had ripped the scope out of my throat each time... couldn’t recall myself doing such a thing! Next time they’ll do the procedure under anesthesia, hopefully that works. Also, the throat numbing spray they give you tastes literally like a heavily carbonated sugar free banana. That’s the best I can describe it, tasted horrible!

I had this they gave me something through my iv dont remember nutthin after

I have to go for this and a biopsy Feb 7

I'm having one done next month I have one best doctor Dr Shah

I think you should show them a few people for when you got the door closed and cut off their oxygen in that sealed chamber! I freaked the F out, one more second and I would have lost it. It says you can open the door at anytime you need to but I don't recall having that option back in 2013 when I did my one and only one. Sugar coating these tests but hey you'll live through it but damn it sucks! or blows!!! One can assume these medical doctors are being condisending by saying they know you can do it and when i say I can't thats what I mean!!! Have a nice day.

Good, informative video but the technician's demeaner does not appear to be very kind, compassionate and understanding. Her body language appears that she is annoyed. A smile goes a long way especially in the medical field. If I was the Patient I would be extremely nervous. Maybe she was just having a difficult shift.

This really told you nothing about the procedure itself

I have a question what happened if they find foods in your lungs ?

so glad i was put to sleep

I've had my endoscopy yesterday and trust me i dont feel anything i dont even remember anything! It was the best nap ever!

Getting mine done in a few hours hopefully they find the problem a little nervous, never been under anesthesia.

im 16 and im getting mine done in 7 hours and i am so incredibly anxious. wish me luck guys 💀

Doctors must make big money from this procedure because it seems anyone who complains of any stomach pain is ordered to get one of these. I have no abnormal labs whatsoever besides anemia which is improving and they want to do this test. Don't know what to think.

I had 3 down 1 in 2018 I found out I was gluten free 2 last year my ephous was setred and a colonoscopy in 2019 I found out I was dairy free and had ibs.

I am scheduled to have this test but I think I won't be able to complete it as I cough when I exhale to hard. Do they fail you if you can't exhale without coughing

My grandma went and got her done January 14 but she had a cardiac arrest they try to do CPR on her but I guess the anesthesia was to strong for her so she didn't make it the ambulance game and took her to the hospital she was on life support after I seen her she wasn't breathing on her own they kept trying to bring her back she keep having 4 heart attacks I don't no if it was the anesthesia or what happened 😢

I have breathing problems severe sleep apnea, I'm scared I might choke or suffocate during the procedure.

I have the worst anxiety ever and I’m so nervous to get one done tomorrow… I’m freaking out so bad 😓😓😓😓

I’m terrified! You guys say a prayer 🙏🏽 for me as I get mine done. I’m such a whimp 😞

I am thankful for this video, and the comments people had. My husband is having lung problems, but said he will be refusing the PFT because he is claustrophobic. After seeing this, he says he could do it. So glad.

Told you I was telling the truth is she ok! Yeah evil won't get past me.

Very helpful and informative - I’m having this procedure on November 1st

Had a upper endoscopy on Thursday it was a nightmare hell very traumatic experience third time around I remember the oxygen only I didn’t remember the scope or sedated I know I didn’t see or hear nothing at all then I started waking up as the scope was coming out completely fast then I was told by the nurses I pulled out the scope I didn’t think was possible for this to happen as I wasn’t aware of anything happening then dr said I was distressed I wasn’t aware of this I feeling traumatised by this the dr said he stopped how it possible I was aware of anything it certainly freaked me out the first time wasn’t a problem the second the sedation didn’t work hell or awful experience not knowing how it happened because I was in a deep sedation having a antihistamine night before the endoscopy process

So how does this work when an individual has a very hypersensitive gag reflex i mean , to the point dental xrays for teeth are challenging

I’m having one next month and I’m FREAKING OUT!!! I’ve canceled this appointment several times.

This test is very difficult But I past this test and I don’t have a Asthma thanks God And I feel bad for those people who have Asthma. I’m praying for you guy’s

Had to get the cov test today which is Today is Friday, Have it done Monday Not really scared of the test I’m scared of the outcome What they may find like cancer.. All I’m gone do is pray and put it in Gods hand..please pray for me..

I'm having one done tomorrow and I'm freaking out. 😭😭

I'm having one done next Tuesday, and my anxiety is eating me alive. 😩😭😭

I need to get this done on Friday because smth is going on with my throat and I’m HELLA WORRIED, I need to also get a covid test on Wednesday so I can even do it and I have anxiety so even a shot is just so nerve wrecking for me. I hope I don’t accidentally COME OUT when I’m put under the anesthesia. :(

I have endoscopy procedure next month. I was told no food or liquid after midnight before procedure....not even to take my morning meds for HBP, etc? Is this fasting restriction reasonable and medically necessary prior to procedure? Thanks.

Who knew these will be in demand after 11 years

My doctor ordered an endoscopy, since my colonoscopy was normal, I wish my stomach would just tell me what's wrong.

I'm getting endoscopy them colonoscopy the same day. I hope they send near enough knock me out before hand. I have awful gag reflex and even thinking about it is making me feel ill. I assume colonoscopy will be a piece of cake but the prep before it is horrible. Roll on 4 days.

I went to the hospital for constant stomach pain and nausea, specially at night. I have an appointment tomorrow and he’ll probably make another appointment for an endoscopy. I’m so nervous and worried.

I’m getting my endoscopy done tomorrow morning and I’m so nervous 😩

no wonder there are hardly any hits, this is barely audible!
