Can General Anesthesia Cause Puffy Eyes And Swollen Membrane Around It?
i had general anesthetic yesterday for a fibroid removal procedure and have only one side effect - very puffy upper eyes and swollen membranes covering the eye, no redness, no vision problems and no pain, just irritation. Should I be worried? I m 49 and in very good health.
