Anesthesia......?!
Question:
Anesthesia......?
I am having my 4th major surgery on July 17th and I am really anxious about the anesthesia, you see, the last two times I had been put under for the surgery I awoke in a complete panic, I even had to be sedated once. I just freak out, I know in my head that i am awake, and ok, and that I just had surgery but for some reason I panic, like full blown anxiety attacks. Is there anything that they or I can do to make it easier for me to come out of the anesthesia??
Answers:
your reaction is very normal. talk to your anesthesiologist, nurse, and surgeon. ask for reassurance and be sure that they have a plan for your adverse reaction.
