How To Overcome The Fear Of Sedation Before Having A Colonoscopy?
I am having a colonoscopy with Propofol in a couple of weeks and I am terrified of sedation. I have never been sedated before. Does it feel like you are being forced to sleep? I know everyone s experience is different and most people who have had it, tell me its a piece of cake and they didn t even know they went to sleep.
