So you guys, this is totally OT (but what else is new, lol?)

I'm a big wuss, but I have to go to the ENT on Wednesday to get something checked out and it's freaking me out! Have any of you ever had a trans-nasal esophagoscopy before (where they pass a scope through your nose and into your throat?) If so, what was it like and did you gag or puke?

For the past 3 or 4 weeks I've had this weird clicking noise/feeling in my throat right in the thyroid area (where your adam's apple is) every time I swallow (of course, being a nurse and a pessimist, I immediately start thinking I have cancer). I went to my regular doc and she said I need to see my ENT, so I made an appt. (Cappy--don't tell me it's worms, lol, OK! Cuz it's not. :p)

Thing is, I have anxiety, and this SEVERE phobia of puking. I haven't puked in 44 years (I am not kidding). Seriously, even though I've been a nurse since forever, I have this fear of it. To the point where I almost passed out once when i first started nursing in the ER, trying to pass an NG tube down someone who started puking up blood.

I am so afraid he is going to want to do this procedure right then and there (as my regular doc already said he may) and I won't be able to go through it. If he does, I am going to see if he can do an alternate test or if I can come back and get it done sedated.

So, if any of you have ever had this done before and you can give any insight on what it was like, I would be eternally grateful!

ETA: It's kinda embarassing to even ask this, considering what @apryl29 kid just went through....but that's been my phobia forever. Every nurse has their one thing that freaks them out, and puking is mine. I have done some really gross things as a nurse and a vet and didn't bat an eye. But puke....ahhhh...my sister and my aunt have the same fear, so it must be genetic, lol.
Omg.....I thought I was the only freak with a puke phobia. I'm 51 and have puked exactly twice.....that's right ....twice in my life. If I hear someone puke it freaks me out and if I see them puke I go into full panic attack.

I puked a lot growing up!

Not so much as an adult though
 
Thanks so much!! I really appreciate it!
You're very welcome! I really enjoy them, they are very low stress to have.Lol! Iv'e got nearly the same photo from my first faverolles to my latest addition, they never grow out of this kind of thing. This is the sort of freindly they are.:)
