What are the risks and recovery expectations?

Risks are minimal for these non-invasive or minimally invasive procedures. The brain MRI and ultrasounds involve no radiation or needles. The cardiac echo is ultrasound-based and painless. The endoscopy under sedation carries a small risk of sedation-related reactions, minor throat irritation, or rare perforation. Recovery is quick: you can resume normal activities the same day, though driving is not advised until the sedation fully wears off. Full results are provided before you leave.
