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 involves the use of general gastroscopy combined with the injection of a certain dose of short-acting anesthetic through the key to help patients quickly reach a state of deep sleep and sedation. This allows the gastroscopy to be completed smoothly without much pain, as long as it is under the control of medication. It can achieve good examination results and provide targeted treatment when necessary.
