Patient's question:
My family has a history of high blood pressure, but recently she mentioned that her stomach doesn't feel well. I plan to take her for a gastroscopy for a thorough examination, specifically a painless gastroscopy. Can patients with high blood pressure undergo this painless gastroscopy?Doctor's answer:
Regarding painless gastroscopy, it is based on the standard gastroscopy examination, where a certain dose of short-acting anesthetic can be administered through a key to help the patient quickly reach a deep sleep and sedation state. The gastroscopy examination can be completed smoothly without much pain, as long as it is under the control of medication. It can achieve a good examination result and provide targeted treatment if necessary.
