Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and understand your concern. First of all, you need not get anxious because of this buzzy feeling you went through after you were given Propofol. Buzzy feel or electrical current feel is all part of any general anesthetic agent. Propofol is a very good medicine given by your physician to make you sleep during a colonoscopy (a medical procedure that allows a doctor to examine the inside of the large intestine).
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and understand your concern. First of all, you need not get scared about getting general anesthesia for your surgery (septoplasty, a minor surgical procedure that straightens the nasal septum). For your surgery, general anesthesia is the best option for anesthetizing you. One more point is that you need not be afraid about awareness and being paralyzed since your anesthetist will administer drugs at the correct dose which will prevent you from having awareness during surgery.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. From your brief history, I can sense that you have already become tolerant of opioids. Once tolerance develops to one group of opioids, simultaneously other opioids also develop the same way. I would suggest the addition of Clonidine and Dexmedetomidine through your spinal catheter since opioid-tolerant patients do have good post-operative pain relief with this drug. Multimodal analgesia with intravenous Ketorolac, Buprenorphine through the spinal route can be another option.
