Anesthesia question

by CaptainSunshine, Apr 08, 2008 09:51PM
Is it normal for anesthesia after effects to last a week? I recently had surgery on my wrist, and I had general anesthesia done...
I just feel dizzy alot of the time, with blurred/double vision occurring. It makes me a little nauseous occasionally.
I havent had any meds (oxycontin) since four days ago, but I continue to have these symptoms.
And I don't think it's withdrawal, since I was only on the medication for two days...

Is this normal? Anyone dealt with this kind of thing before? I'm having a hard time finding answers online, and people I've contacted at hospitals are unsure of whats going on.

I apologize if this question is in the wrong forum/section.
