What Causes Gasping For Air Along With Rapid Heart Rate Post Minor Surgery?
I had a minor surgery today with General Anesthesia. Since then, each time I am almost falling asleep (nap and now bedtime) I wake up because I feel like I need air. I feel as if I sm forgetting to breathe. This makes me anxious and my heart rate increases and then I feel light headed even though I m awake.
