They told me the procedure should only take about 20 minutes or so, but the catch is they need to put me under general anesthesia since local wouldn't be enough to handle the pain. I'm terrified about whether I'll actually wake up. My pre-op tests all came back fine, but my heart was racing a bit during the appointment... please help!!!
Good grief, don't think like that. Look, there’s always a risk involved in anything, but life itself is one big gamble; you never truly know what's waiting around the corner. Luckily, we have anesthesiologists who are highly trained experts specifically to calculate and recommend the safest anesthetic for your situation. It’s no wonder your heart was pounding like crazy—it’s completely natural to freak out when you hear you’re being put under.
Just try to relax, maybe take a mild sedative if you really need to, and stop worrying. Everything is going to be just fine.😉
