Hi guys,
I just had my wisdom teeth taken out, and after Iwoke up, I was all emotional and crying and stuff. not the a couple little sniffles here and there, I mean, histarically crying. I just wanna know what effect does anisthesia have on you when you come out of it.

Hi Leslie. I've had anasthesia many times. The first time I was obviously crazy when I came out but I as so drugged up that I didn't remember. Then I notice that I always shake violently when I am coming out of the anasthesia. This time since my ehearing is so messed up I was scared and crying and they went and got my mom to communicate with me with sign language and then once it wore off some more I realized I still could hear just not great. It definately plays with your head. So I'm sure it could cause you to be realy emotional and God knows why you were crying. Maybe you were scared of soemthing? the brain is just like not really knowing what the hell is happening until you sort of reorient yourself. HTH.

I had my wisdom teeth extracted a year or so ago, and i was crying too. The doc warned me that could happen. the other times I remember being put under general anesthesia for surgery, I just woke up feeling very warm and groggy. my throat was a little dry, but that was just from the breathing tube.

I had an operation on my leg a few years ago so I know anesthetic does some strange things. When I came out my speech was a bit slird and later on I did feell emotional and sad. I don't know why it does it though, smiles

lets see. I've had lots of surgeries and regarding the after effects of anisthesia, I have experienced: nausea, vomiting, croup, I woke up screaming from one surgery, woke up in the middle of another and couldnt tell them, and in the last surgery, asked the nurses was it over and could I have something to drink repetitively till it pissed them off.

I've never had any seriously bad reactions, and I've had many surgeries. The worst thing was nausea, but now they can put something in your IV along with the anesthesia to take care of the nausea, so my last few surgeries have not caused any nausea.

Can anyone explain what is nausea please?
Thanks

they put you under to extract your wisdom teeth? Nice, I just got some gas and nothecain. But the two times I've been put under were for knees surgeries. The first time, when I woke up, they told me that they couldn't find the floating piece of cartalidge, and that made me cry. I guess, after hearing you guys' accounts of crying, they just thought that I was reacting to the annistetic. So they just went to get my mom from the waiting area. It's a long story, but just before the surgery, I told the nurses that I needed to put the floater in place where the doctor could easily find it. My gp showed me how to do it, and whenever I went to the ortho that's what I did. I guess they just thought I was high on the annistetic because they wouldn't let me sit up to do it.
Also, when I woke up from the first surgery, I had an absolutely horrible headache.
The second surgery, which I might add, wasn't necessary if they'd've listened to me before the first surgery, I woke up too early and popped a blood vessel in my eye straining against them pulling out the breathing tube. Thank god I slipped back into unconsciousness after that, lol.
A question of my own. I'm going in for an upper indoscopy next month, and they're putting me under moderate siddation. Can anyone describe this? I've read that it's heavier than twilight, but not, obviously, general sidation.
Hope this helps.

Nausea is a feeling like one is about to vomit. Jenn, you'll still be able to hear the nurses or doctors instructing you to relax, but you shouldn't feel too much. I"ve never had an upper endoscopy, but that's my understanding of it.

Jen, I've had moderate anesthesia before. You're sort of aware of what's going on in terms of hearing people talking and maybe feeling some things, but yet when it's all over, you're not aware of how much time has passed.

ok, because I'm really nervous about them sticking a scope all the way down to my small bowel, and also taking biopsies. I sincerely hope I don't feel it.
Thanks for the info you guys.

Been under the knife 17 (or is it 18 times now to my knowledge?) as I had a lot of problems wwith my face. When you come round, well, it depends. You either get all emmotional and cry your eyes out for what feels like hours and hours and hours till the medics come and stick a needle in your bum to administer pain relief, lmfao, or, you just come round for a bit, wake up enough to converse with your nearest and dearest about how the surgery went, any news from home, School, work, Etc Etc, then you zonk on and off, on and off for around 48 hours but you really don't feel like leaving the warmth of the hospital bed with the prospect of sometimes quite a long car journey ahead of you to get home again. Also, if you try and get up to go to the bathroom or whatever, you feel like you've drunk 12 pints of laga in mega quick succession so you're wobbling around all over the place and mum's trying to hold on to you, get you either on the commode or in to the smallest room whilst having to wheel the drips stand along in your wake, lmfaolmfaolmfao. All in all then, you feel incredibly whoozy, dizzy and sometimes well, chuck up when you come round, lasting for 24 hours or so, so it's best just to just z'z'z'z'zonk it off.

One of my friends had a heart cathederization done and they put an IV in his arm. When he woke up from the anesthesia, his arm was paralized. It still is, and the procedure was done weeks ago.

when i was six or seven I had to have my tonsles removed and according to my dad when I woke up I was balling my eyes out. Then I was zonking on and off for like the next twenty four hours in between visiting family members and chucking up everything i ate or drank.

Hi, all. I've had loads of reconstructive surgeries on my eyes and the surrounding area, so I'm no stranger to anesthesia, either. I'm glad they have it, but man it's not fun to wake up from! Even with anti-nausea drugs in my IV, I still get sick a majority of the time. and waking up is scary, because I don't like the disoriented feeling I have, where I'm half awake, half asleep, and not really sure where I am and who is around me. I've cried too, usually out of fear from being so disoriented and confused. But most of the time, that doesn't last too long. Unless you have 14 hours worth of anesthesia in your blood, as I did back in 1994, and that will mess you up something supreme.

Well lets see, I've had twenty five surgeries, and well I've acted very feisty and bitchy as well as very calm afterwards. There is no telling which way I'll be coming out of surgery, there is a fifty fifty chance I'll be feisty and bitchy as well as calm. so, everyone just has to wait and see when I'm waking up, how i'll be. lol.

When I got out of my sergery for my wisdom teeth, I balled my eyes out. at that point my mom and grandma weren't in the room when I woke up, so the nurse sent them in. I remember my blood pressure being really high, so they couldn't send me home for a while, although I really wanted to. go home. Finally they sent me home, and I sware, I slept for literally all day and all night, because of the combination of the anisthesia not worn off yet, and the pain meds, I was pretty much knocked out the whole day, except for some times when I needed to eat and get more pain meds. That's pretty much what happened to me.

I don't rememberm uch from my wisdom teeth extraction. I just remember tryingto get out of the damn chair, thinking I could stand up on my own, but wow, was I wrong. lol I was really groggy, and weepy for a while. I had requested to be placedd under anaesthesia, as I'm such woos when it comes to getting shots in the gums, or anywhere, for that matter. When the doctor inserted the Iv, it wasn't bad, because I was alreayd so relaxed fro mthe laughing gas.
