anesthetic side effects

[Guest guest]

I don't know if side effects is the right word but here goes.

I recently had a minor sinus wash operation. I was the last one

down to the theatre and, as I was a day case, I had to be out

of the ward at a certain time. I did not feel too good and told

the nurse so, to no avail. I started to walk out with my wife

and young daughter and the next thing I know is that I am on

the floor after collapsing. I was put back in bed and i did the

same thing again during the night while going to the washroom.

I was discharged the next day but still did not feel right. I

was then re-admitted and had a heart check to see if anything

was wrong. When I went to see the heart specialist he told me

that I had an irregular heart beat and would need a pacemaker.

I then had other tests and went back to see the specialist and

he told me everything was ok and nothing was going to be done.

At the time I did not know about CMT, but after reading that

CMT sufferers should have special attention when having

general anesthetic because it could cause problems including

the heart that I researched CMT. Has any one else had this

problem?

Another thing I get now and then is electric like surges through

the body as if I have had an electric shock. Also, while I am

writing this piece and other things on the computer my hands feel

really weak as if I have no strength in them, any one else feel

like this?

Lastly, I have just come back from Canada, I feel really great

and relaxed and not really tired. It will be interesting how

I feel after a few days work. Maybe I should go on disability?
