What causes uncontrollable shaking and shivering after anesthesia?!
Question: What causes uncontrollable shaking and shivering after anesthesia!?
After my epidural for a ceserean section I had awful shaking and shivering for about an hour or so (it's foggy- but about that long)!. What caused it!? I am getting a general anesthesia for oral surgery in a week and wonder if it will happen again!. It was terrible!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I believe it has to do with the autonomic nervous system!. It's very common after anesthesia and also after extreme stress such as a delivery (even without drugs)!. A small dose of IV demerol will stop it!. Many times, a doctor just doesn't think to order something for it since it's common, not harmful, and passes on it's own!. Discuss your experience with your doctor before surgery and ask him to leave an order for demerol (or other drug he may choose) if this should occur again!.
Good luck, hope this helped!.!.!.

It might have had to do with the fact that you just had major surgery to have your baby! Stress on your body! And it could have been the effects of the anesthesia on you too!. I would check to see what they used and ask to use a different one if you are worried!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It's normal as the body is very dynamic!. when it senses that there's no energy needed, it stops producing!. But when you get back to senses, you need energy!. So to cope up, the body temperature falls!.

It could just have been the trauma of childbirth!. Both my sister and I had "the shakies" after giving birth, but those were natural births, and I imagine going thru a Cesarean(!?) can be just as traumatic as natural childbirth!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It's a pretty normal reaction to anesthesia, so I've heard!. I would definetly call the oral surgeon and tell him about this reaction and your fears so he/she can be better prepared to deal with your situation!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
