Hello,
Anesthesia commonly has short term effects in the brain & body like temporary confusion,
memory loss,
dizziness,
nausea, shivering & feeling cold. Patients recover to normal after a few days.
Sometimes, anesthesia cause long term memory loss. Post anesthesia, factors like new environment, loss of sleep,
anxiety, medications can impact a patients mental function.
If any such symptoms arise, report to the treating doctor. He should help to manage the impact on recovery & overall health.
No worries, therapy & medication & medical aid will help you recover well, have patience. Stay active & take adequate rest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
