Did you know you can faint and throw up after eye surgery?

It's not the eye surgery that cause the fainting, it's the drugs that they poke into the body to make you unconscious so that you do not scream when the knife cuts you up.
Even those folks going for the wisdom tooth extraction and surgery face the same problem.
Your step mother is very naughty oh. She shouldn't walk everywhere to warm the chair, she should sleep off the drugs.

Hi Friend,

I think almost all surgeries made you vomit as a side effect of the anesthesia. So, it is advisable that after the procedure, you have to stay in the recovery room for a while for observation. There can be post reactions and even worst side effects. Eye surgery is not a major operation and it home-based care is advised. That's why the first 3 hours after the procedure is very important to observe any reaction from the patients.

I haven't experience eye surgery but had two CS for my 2 sons. My grandmother had her cataract operation ans she vomited too and she's under home-based care.

Even getting up suddenly and changing position can cause this attack- sudden/vertigo and nausea are the effects of this imbalance.As the doctor pointed out pressing some nerve inadvertently can also do this because once I saw my son having this problem.Moreover, acute pain also causes nausea occasionally[have faced this]

Hi i have done an outpatient eye surgery to correct my eye power, that is lasik. That one day i felt some thing wrong. I am not able to sit, lie down. So i thought why should i done this? Later it became normal to me. Now i feel very happy to have done the surgery. As the eye is main part if we have to close eyes for many hours even though we are able to see it makes us to feel sick. This may happened to your step mother.

not as funny as it may seem a few years back i had a cyst removed from an eye.as we were driving back from the hospital i toldthe wife i dont feel good stop to let me get some air.i passed out she called an ambulance and i was taken back to the hospital.outcome i had a dvt in my leg and now cant go on long haul holidays sp to those who have fun with this its not always a funny thing

Hi.

If I'm not mistaken, it's already a given that a doctor should explain the side effects of a surgery. I think that the reason for having this kind of surgery could be due to the fact that the eyes are really near the brain. Have you tried having something swell and it feels like it's going to burst? It might have been that case. I think your mom needed to rest first before going home. Her eyes needed to rest first. There might have been too much pressure in her eye when she walked around and traveled right after.

hi friend, lot of side effects happened in eye surgery... my gramdma took that operation after that she was ill, it takes so many months for her to cure that problem....

When she sat down did she bend down? If so, then it must be the probable cause why she fainted and thrown up. The intraoccular pressure or the pressure that holds your eye in place increses while the patient is undergoing the surgery and even after it. When your step mom sat,she might have bent down which increased her IOP (intraoccular pressure) which in turn "pushes back" the pressure to her brain. The pressure build up in her brain compressed her medulla that is why she threw up.
Cataract removal is an outpatient procedure since there is a little risk of having complications immediately after surgery which often requires attention and close monitoring.

No I did not my husband had a torn retina repaired but don't remember him being anything else but tired.Well that is interesting to know.I expect your poor step mother was terrified and you as well.They should have warned you that is bad,I do hope your step mother has recovered ok.poor thing.

I hope to never have to need any type of surgery whatsoever! I can't count on one hand how many times I have ever had to go to a hospital.
