I have heard it can feel like your choking, or there's something stuck in your throat due to swelling and the injections to numb you up.
I know this will freak me out big time, I am rather worried about my anxiety going into over drive :(
So if any one can enlighten me on this it would be helpful.
How drugged up will I feel? Will it be too drugged up to the point I don't care.
Will I say anything stupid, embarrassing to my family!
I do suffer from palps and a fast hear rate so I am assuming they will give me valuim or something.
I had two generals before, and my mum told me I spend the whole day sleeping, so I am hoping I'll be able to sleep the first 24 hours off.
I have put her in charge of my meds in case I accidentally take too much!
Any idea how long the numbness from the injections last?
Lastly is there anything I haven't thought to expect?
Because of my health anxiety I over react to pretty much everything but if I know it's normal and to be expected it does help me be more rational.
Thanks x
