It's a upper endoscopy or EGD (esophageal, gastric, duodenum) It uses a scope that goes down from the mouth, sees the esophagus, then the stomach and gets into the first few inches of the duodenum.
With people who are older most tests have more risks. I would say sedation, is the main risk. Because (not very often) you have trouble waking up. But you get a lighter sedation but still have no pain.
I have a EGD & colonoscopy every three months since I was 28 y/o. And it's never been painful or dangerous. And I'm no where near 28 any more.
