Colonoscopy? (Public Board)

I'm so torn on getting the colonoscopy. I've been having several people telling me I should do it. I might incorrectly cave to the peer pressure.

That is the risk I heard, that your intestine can get torn during the colonoscopy, leading to complications. I heard the complication frequency is as high as 1%, which sounds really high. But my mother had a colonoscopy and nothing bad happened.

The sleep apnea check seems reasonable. That's non-invasive.

Shingles vaccine I think I'll pass. I'm also torn on that.
