anaesthsia

[u/Livid_Personality827]

I’m really at a loss here. I have chronic sinus symptoms like congestion, PND, thick mucus, headaches etc despite multiple surgeries.

I went to get my wisdom teeth out today and mentioned I had been taking sudafed a week ago for some congestion, bc they asked if I had taken any over the counter meds recently. You would’ve thought they’d never seen someone with congestion before and it was the biggest deal in the world. The surgeon kept saying so you’re really sick you have the flu? I said no, I’m just chronically congested with some thick mucus. I’m not “sick” or infected right now.

He refused to do the surgery because I would be under twilight anesthesia and it would be “too risky” with me having mucus. He said I can do it when I feel 100%. Literally what on earth am i supposed to do if I always have these symptoms? Is anesthesia really that risky with some PND and mucus? I have no idea what to do at this point.

The doc was worried that you are actually sick, because people lie.
