If there are any anaesthetists/other doctors out there I'd be grateful for some guidance. Sorry it's a bit long.
I had a very short operation with general anaesthetic recently. I came round with usual oxygen mask, then they gave me a nebuliser and salbutamol. I think oxygen sat was 90%. They also called a chest physio. I think The anaesthenist told physio she could only get a small line down. That got my sats back up. I only have my recollection of what happened and was groggy.
I've had many operations, including for the same thing before without this problem. At the hospital they didn't seem bothered afterwards and I was just discharged by the nurses as normal. My aunt who is a doctor was pretty concerned.
Now I'm tired (normal for me after surgery) but a bit more breathless then usual/after previous surgery. I don't have asthma. Do I need to worry about it, or just relax as it was all sorted out before I went back to the ward? Do I mention it before future surgery? Thank you.
