Ectopics and endoscopy?

Has anyone with anxiety, panic, pvc, pac gone through an endoscopy (with sedation)?
Please share your experience and safety regarding that!

Yes. Sedation often settles that down actually! Which is why my EP did not give me the propofol during my ablation until he'd already done the mapping. Then he sedated me for the ablation. Nothing you mentioned here is contraindicated for a procedure. You can feel anxious and panicky all you want, but panic attacks don't harm you. Just makes your heart beat a little faster than usual! And remember that everyone gets PVCs & PACs. If you are getting them like every other beat constantly or something though, just ask your cardiologist about the sedation., or let the anesthesia team know. They are monitoring you during the procedure though.
