[|Human|] I am a 58 year old male; 6 ft. tall, 170 lbs.  History of hypertension controlled by Norvasc.  5 days ago I underwent endoscopic nasal surgery under general anesthesia.  This was done at an ambulatory surgical facility and I was released home the same day.  Postop problems have been minimal.  No major pain so I quit taking the Norco pain med after 24 hours.  My problem is that my energy level is still very depleted and I am still sleeping through the night and much of the day.  Can this still be a residual effect of the anesthesia?

So, If these problems persist, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and some tests: - a complete blood count for anemia-blood electrolytes for possible imbalance- PCR and ESR for inflammation or infection- an arterial blood gas analysis. You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Wishing all the best,
