default
Posted on Fri, 5 Feb 2016
Question: Hello ! Today at 5 pm i had a superior endoscopy done. They used propofol. I am experiencing sneezing and runny nose and flu like sysmptoms! I have a light chest pain that has just started. It has been 7 hours since they used the sedation and i am afraid to go to sleep because i do not know if a side effect may appeared and I will be sleeping and i wouldnt be able to recognize it and act on it. I have been taking bisoprolol fumarato for sinus tachychardia since last friday. How likely is to experience side effects after 7 hours? Can i go to bed or should i be alert?

HI

Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for posting your query in Healthcaremagic.

See , any medications if at all causes allergic reactions will causes in first 60 minutes and as the time passes the chances of adverse reactions will be lesser . Moreover there are no significant adverse reaction that can happen without coming to notice of the person ( even if he is asleep ) .

So just relax and go to bed . If you have any Benadryl at home you can take one or else no need to do anything .

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask.
