Every medication and medical intervention has potential side or adverse effects. You should address this question to the anesthesia team that will be providing your care. Your primary health care provider can also be a source of information given knowledge of your specific health history.
Yes there always risks involved with any sort of medical procedure/treatment. Speak to your anesthesiologist openly about your medical problems, the medicine you are taking and your lifestyle choices Neville Fernandes
