Anesthesia and Panic Disorder?
I’m getting my wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow, and I’m going to be knocked out with anesthesia for the procedure. I am FREAKED OUT. I have panic disorder, and the idea of being anesthetized is literally making me shake, sweat and tear up. I’m going to be taking a sedative (Halcion) tonight before I go to bed, and in the morning so I don’t have a panic attack before surgery. But I’m still really scared right now… I’ve looked for questions on here about being deathly allergic to anesthesia, and yes I know it’s like 1 in 100,000 people or something, but that one person COULD be me. No one has said anything (that I can find) about the reaction being reversible. Can someone tell me something to come my nerves? I would really, really appreciate it.
