“Could I be allergic to anaesthesia?”
I had my C-section for which I was administered anaesthesia. As soon as I regained consciousness I threw up. Is it because I am allergic to anaesthesia or is it normal and happens with everyone.

Not an allergy. Common side effect of anesthesia especially gases. Tell your next Anesthesiologist about your N&V
Nausea and vomiting are very common after C sections. Speak with your physician anesthesiologist about this
Not an unusual occurrence for this type of surgery
Hi,
Nausea is common if you had general anesthesia.

It is not an allergy, but a side effect. If you have a history of motion sickness, etc., you are at risk. You can tell your anesthesiologist who can use a non tiggering and pre-treat you.
From your statement, it appears that you received general anesthesia for your cesarean delivery. In that case, general anesthesia frequently is associated with nausea and vomiting and knowledgable anesthesiologists drain the patient's stomach with gastric tube aspiration and administer anti-nausea drugs before you wake up to prevent nausea. You are NOT allergic to anesthesia.
Dont understand very clear. But it is true. A person can be allergic to some anesthetics, muscular relaxants, barbiturates, propofol, local
anesthetics, etc. Symptoms could go from skin rash, asthma, to a severe form of anaphillactic shock.You must talk with your anesthesiologist to know your
allergies and to prevent complications. Good luck.

It's normal, and while it doesn't happen to everyone, it happens to a lot of people sometimes after C-section. It is related to the pregnancy itself and not so much to anesthesia. Either way, don't worry, you are not allergic, but likely simply sensitive to anesthetic and had a vomiting episode which could happen again if you require anesthesia again, but notify your anesthesiologist about that fact, so he can take measures to prevent it.
General anesthesia can give you nausea and vomiting
Vomiting is not an allergic response. Depending on the type of anesthesia used and how it is administered, this is a fairly common side effect. If you are to have anesthesia in the future, simply advise the anesthesiologist of your experience and this likely can be minimized with antiemetic or anti-nausea medication.
