anesthesia
"Just had an EDG a few hours ago. I was terrified. Was literally panicking by the time they wheeled me to the OR. Seeing all the gadgets and cameras in the OR only worsened my anxiety. They put oxygen on me. Then the RN gave me a medication to relax me as well as the propafol. No more than 5 seconds passed and I began to feel loopy. They asked me to roll on my side and that's the last thing I remember before waking up in recovery. I was a little tired but was able to communicate as well as stand on my own two feet and walk. Although, I was a little wobbly. I'm still drowsy, but have yet to fall back asleep. Anyone that has heightened anxiety before any procedure should consult and request propafol."
