Methamphetamine is a drug that can ruin your teeth, cause you to have a heart attack or stroke, or affect your thinking so that you take unsafe risks and behaviors that are a threat to your life. These risks do not dissipate after 7 days, as you have discovered the powerful addictive
quality of this drug. You need to seek counseling and treatment with medicines that can help you break the habit and save your life. No anesthesiologist will give you anesthesia if there is methamphetamine in your system because it increases the risk of intraoperative and postoperative death to unacceptable levels.

For elective surgery in Patients with hypopituitarism, like you, it’s necessary to correct the electrolyte balance in the blood. Since the pituitary is the gland secreting hormones that regulate that balance. Therefore it’s very important to do that correction preoperatively for the safest peri
operative course.
people with hypopituitarism are on steroid supplements. Please contact endocrinologists who follow up this condition and prescribe the supplements. It’s not appropriate to stop steroid before surgery, especially when the medication has been taken for more than three months.
