I am a 32 year old female. I will have a surgery under general anesthesia. I heard about anesthesia awareness. Do you feel pain during anesthesia awareness?

It depends. You should not feel pain, but subconsciously, you might get anxious.
No
I believe a patient could feel pain in light planes of anesthesia
I really don't have any statistics on this issue. There are 3 components to a general anesthetic: analgesia (pain control), amnesia (can't remember what happened) and loss of consciousness. Different medications used during surgery and anesthesia contribute to 1 or more of these components by acting on different drugs receptors in the body. Awareness occurs when there is insufficient medications to cause amnesia and loss of consciousness.
If the anesthesiologist or surgeon administers a sufficient amount of pain medicine or local anesthetics in the area of surgery to block all the pain, one should not have any pain on the rare chance there is awareness during a general anesthetic.

Anesthesia awareness is rare and ussually happen after trauma surgery or heart surgery is very unlikely to have it in any other surgery. Pain and awareness are different things you can have awareness without pain, if pain is not well controlled and you have awareness then yes you can feel pain.
