I had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy done. Before hand they gave me anxiety meds. Idk if that is important but my aunt is a nurse and has said she has seen people have bad reactions to the meds. I woke up from the procedure and immediately felt like there was glass shards in my chest and i could not stop coughing. nurse said that was normal. I leave there and 2 hours later i start running a fever body aches cold chills etc. I go to the ER they say I have pneumonia. Did not confirm it was caused by aspirating during the procedure. What I am concerned about is my grandmother was with me for the procedure. She said when they wheeled me back in the nurse left and i started flopping up and down on the bed i was unconscious my tongue was hanging out of my mouth and my blood pressure plummeted. she could not get me to wake up. She went and got the nurse and im not sure what she did but i stopped doing all of that and eventually came to. What is concerning to me is none of the nurses/doctors/anesthesiologist documented that or had a discuss with me about it. The anesthesiologist even called me days after to check up on me which i’ve never had happen with my other surgeries which were much more serious than this procedure. Another weird thing is the i ended up cancelling my GI appt after the procedure with my primary GI doc and the doc who did my procedure messages asking if i was okay because he saw i canceled. even though the appt wasn’t even with him? again, never had that happen before and ive canceled multiple times in the past with my primary GI doc. Can someone give me insight on what to do here or if its happened to them? I have a surgery coming up in september and i’m scared of what could potentially happen and i have no documents to share with the doctor doing my surgery so she’s aware of it.
