I have sleep apnea and asthma. I am wondering if this poses problems when you get General Anesthesia.

Normally if they know in advance then they can 'tube you' so the tube goes down your throat into the lungs and the computer takes over the breathing.

What is Anaesthesia? Anaesthesia also spelled as Anesthesia is a medicine speciality related to providing patients with anaesthetic drugs in appropriate dosage in special scenarios such as surgeries. Anaesthesia is derived from Greek meaning “loss of sensation” and it is a reversible condition meaning after a while the patient will come out of the “loss of sensation” state.

Tell you provider of your conditions! It shouldn't matter as long as they know. I have asthma and suspect I have sleep apnea. I have been put under several times and am still here to type about it. Ask your Dr...you are paying him/her dearly...might as well ease you mind.

One way to cure your asthma would be to take 2 lemons into a gallon of spring water. Drink 8 oz glasses three times a day.

You'll be fine. We take care of people like you every day.
Tell your anesthesiologist everything, and bring your inhalers to the hospital.
Anesthesiologists are trained to deal with these problems. It's under control.
Good luck with your surgery.
