What does being under general anesthesia feel like?

I am a 19 year old male. I want to know what does being under general anesthesia feel like?

Nothing. The patient is unconscious so there are no appreciable feelings.
While you are unconscious, it doesn't "feel" like anything. You have no sense of time. It's as if you turned off the clock. General anesthesia provides amnesia, analgesia, and muscle relaxation to a variable extent. You will likely feel a bit groggy after you emerge from general anesthesia as the medications are metabolized and cleared from your body.
Hi.
Under general anesthesia, you feel nothing. You are in a very deep sleep. When the anesthesia wears off, you start to wake up slowly, and regain your normal state.

Good luck.

Sincerely,
Basically, it doesn’t feel like anything. You are rendered unconscious with no sense of time passing and no consciousness of any of the other senses.

Nothingness. You are not supposed to feel anything.
That is one experience, you are unable to describe.
