post- sedation or general anesthesia

I notice that after any procedure whether minor or major, I suffer from severe anxiety and panic attacks for at least a month after oral or general anesthesia. It is quite dibilitating!! Does anyone else suffer from this?. I almost become neurotic!!

This could be the result of an allergic reacation to the type of anesthesia used for your procedures.
Before your next procedure, speak at length with the anesthelogist about your post-operative anxiety/panic. There are many options, but unless you speak up, they will simply read your chart, see that you did fine during the procedure and the immediate post operative period, and continue to give you the same anesthesia.
I work on a post-surgical unit in a hospital, and trust me, I've seen every reaction from A-Z, so you are certainly NOT alone.
But, they can't fix it if they don't know it's broke, so speak up!
I wish you the best
Peace
