Should I Fear Endoscopy for Iron Deficiency Anemia?

Worried and scared about having an endoscopy for iron deficiency anemia

Dr. Samrat Jankar

Surgical Gastroenterologist

Answered on 31st Mar '25

It's completely natural to feel apprehensive before an endoscopy. This procedure helps identify underlying causes of iron deficiency anemia, such as gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcers. Common signs may include fatigue, pallor, or shortness of breath. Endoscopy is safe and typically well-tolerated, as it offers valuable insights for proper treatment. After the procedure, you may feel slightly groggy, but this will subside quickly. If you have lingering concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to your gastroenterologist for guidance.

I am 20 years old. Recently I feel pain in my esophageal area during swallowing time. Also after every minute it start paying from bottom to up an then stop and continue after se ome time

Male | 20

There are symptoms that hard burn is the same as that you might be facing. The reason is that stomach acid goes up into the esophagus and causes pain. Eating spicy or greasy foods, alcohol, or being overweight plays a significant role in developing this heartburn type of problem. For improvement, you can eat smaller meals, avoid trigger foods, and stay sitting upright after eating. If it still hurts, visiting a gastroenterologist for a check-up is necessary.
