What are the side effects of general anesthesia?
There are an endless list of side effects, but a short list follows: nausea, vomiting, sore throat, damage to teeth & gums, and headache. The anesthesia consent that you will sign before undergoing anesthesia should give you a better listing of all the potential side effects and complications. But do not let that scare you. If you are in good health, general anesthesia is incredibly safe nowadays. READ MORE

How do you feel after general anesthesia?
Every patient is different. But in general one can expect to be a bit groggy when they first wake up and will get progressively more awake.

Some patients may experience nausea upon awakening from anesthesia and that can be an unpleasant feeling. READ MORE
