Q: tongue ulcers
asked by: garyallen on July 30th, 2009

I went for a check up with my doctor. I said that over the last couple of years I have been getting tongue ulcer frequently. Like every other two months they don't last long and go away. I was thinking that it had to do with maybe vitamin b deficiency, so I plan on taking these to see if it helps.

My doctor however has ordered an Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. I think this is very invasive and I really don't what to have the test. I don't have any other symptoms that would really warrant this procedure.

I am also afraid of having this procedure done. Do you know what the risk are?


Sincerely
Gary
