Answer 1

Anesthesia can cause all sorts of problems...

Hair loss, memory loss, fatigue, improper circulation, respiratory problems... lots of things.

Try proving it though... You basically can't. A bad anesthesiologist can mess you up worse than a bad plastic surgeon... Just more subtly.

Answer 2

First of all Im just wondering y general anesthesia for a normal birth?Or maybe there are other indications aside from that? Anyway here are some of the effects of general anesthesia: Minor side effects from general anesthesia and surgery are common. These include nausea, sore throat, headache, muscle aches, or a generalized "hang-over" type feeling. Fortunately these are most often not serious and resolve on their own in hours or a few days after surgery. Rarely these side effects are severe enough to require specific treatment or possibly further hospitalization. Back to top

Answer 3

No, it has nothing to do with the anesthesia. Unless you had it last night---which I doubt. You are just getting older like the rest of us.

Answer 4

No, anaesthetic agents will not leave you in a state of chronic forgetfulness. If you are experiencing same, there is a different cause. Go back to your doctor and discuss the problem.

Answer 5

everyone reacts different to anesthesia, you are told not to make any important decisions for 24 hour after receiving it.

Answer 6
