“Can anesthesia make you tired for days after?”
I am a 34 year old female who had surgery under general anesthesia 2 days ago. I still feel tired days later. Can anesthesia make you tired for days after?

General anesthesia effects usually least hours. But could be longer in sensitive patients. Some types of muscular relaxants could make you feel muscular pain or tiredness or even weakness, but will disappear in less than 24 hours. If you keep feeling weak or tired, consult your doctor to have blood exams for hemoglobin and electrolytes.
The stress of your surgical procedure is the likely cause of your fatigue
I think the surgery must have made you feel tired!
