Hello,
As of now, I don't feel that you need to worry.
Medicines used to give anaesthesia may take as long as 72 hours to clear up from blood (depends on the type of agent used).
Suggestion-
1. Watch for 72 hours.
2. Drink lots of water.
3. For nausea take tablet Ondansetron (Zofran) as and when required.

My doc's diagnosis was inflammation and small ulcers in the stomach and esophagus. Should he have taken a sample for a biopsy?
I have been using apple cider vinegar daily, < oz in juice in the am., does that help or hinder my situation?

Brief Answer:
Follow up answer.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again,
Apple cider vinegar is ok.
But if there were ulcers then he should have confirmed the cause that whether they were because of a bacterium called H. pylori or not.
Secondly ulcer healing agent like Sucralfate four times a day should be given by him to help healing the ulcers.
Usually a sample of tissue for biopsy is taken for the confirmation.
Hope I have answered your query.
