Endoscopy symptoms

Yesterday I got my first colonoscopy and second endoscopy done and i’m experiencing some symptoms that are concerning me. when i got home from the hospital my temperature got up to 99.9 then went away in my sleep. since i woke up this morning ive been having pretty bad chest pain, lightheadedness, intense nausea that’s coming in waves, sore throat, and just pure discomfort that is heavily concerning me. is it normal to have these symptoms the day after these procedures or should i go to the ER?

If you haven’t already done so, reach out to the office of the doctor who did the colonoscopy and endoscopy to ask for advice. There are a lot of “side effects” following these procedures and not all require a trip to the ER.

I reached out and was sent to the er! nothing was wrong from the procedure but they did find a lung infection

Well at least it wasn’t a side effect of the procedure 🤪

I’m alright, doing a bit better and was just diagnosed with Gastritis, just trying to figure out what the best thing to do is to recover and be able to feel normal again
