Hi doctor,
I received an upper endoscopy and biopsy about 10 hours ago. My weight is 150 lbs and I was given 50 mcg of Fentanyl and 180 mg of Propofol for sedation. The procedure was successful and there were no immediate complications. I came home and rested for several hours and have plans to go out with some friends. I would like to consume two or three pegs of alcohol. Am I safe to drink alcohol? The only side effect I am feeling now is slight stomach irritation from the biopsy and nothing else. Please let me know.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com. I would like to suggest avoiding alcoholic beverages and spicy hot foods due to the stomach biopsy. If you do not have cloudiness of mind, then you are good and don't need to worry about sedation. It is recommended to avoid foods and medications that can excessively irritate the stomach for 24 to 48 hours after the biopsy, as it would be in the best interest of your health
