Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i smoke weed regularly .. i have surgery on a communicating hydro-seal tomorow at 8 in the morning - out patient aprox 1 hr procudure...i dont plan on being high for my opperation but will the THC in my system (which i know is plentyful) have an adverse effect on my body/heart when administered the anisthesia.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, of course narcotic drug could affect the anesthetic drugs, in my opinion it is better to inform the anesthetist about this and since how long it is not being taken or if still going on, so the anesthetic drug can be adjusted accordingly, hope this information helps, take care, have a nice day.
