Spring is coming, mask mandates are going, & I spent last Wednesday AND NOW TODAY, coming down with a cold (It's not Covid because this one is pure nose)
I had an endoscopy today myself, a gastroscopy (just the stomach and the small bowel?). I don't have anyone to look after me, so I had to go with numbing instead of sedation. I warned them that I had a really violent gag reflex, and I was already feeling sick from bile/acid reflux and fasting from the night before.I panicked during the procedure and started to retch The doctor was actually IN the stomach the first time, and we took a break and then tried again. I was able to see the inside of my stomach, which was pretty cool, but I really panicked and retched hard. I'm back home safe, I had something small to eat after I was allowed to (once the numbing spray wore off), and did some shopping to cheer myself up. Super scary, and I don't care I sound like a big baby, I don't want to do that ever again!

Let's see if I get a similar panic there as you, because I also have a sensitive / violent gag reflex. Just plain brushing your teeth or tongue causes this reflex for me.
