Breathing is autonomous. You cannot 'forget' to do it, which means you're actively doing it. Surgery can bring on depression and anxiety, which would explain not feeling quite right and most of the other symptoms. Generally these heal with the wound, but it definitely wouldn't hurt to talk to your doctor about it.
The post-op nurses would wake me up and tell me I wasn't breathing. So they were constantly waking me up and shouting at me to breathe, because I would fall back asleep and quit breathing. I guess the anesthesia really hit me good to the point where my brain couldn't tell me to continue breathing. The surgeon also said I had stopped breathing several times during the surgery.
Has anyone experienced these side effects from general anesthesia?
