I've just been told that I have to have a colonoscopy. What should I expect?

The most common side effects of a colonoscopy include cramping, bloating, and abdominal discomfort. You may also experience nausea or vomiting, fatigue, dizziness, lightheadedness, and changes in your sense of taste or smell. These symptoms usually subside within a few hours after the procedure is completed.
