Residual effects from colonoscopy?

I had a colonoscopy last Friday. I did the prep and also took Magnesium Citrate. I had almost a "stoned" feeling after I woke up from the anesthesia, and still feel light headed. I lost two pounds which was probably all fluid.

I'm wondering if it's dehydration that's causing the lightheadedness, or residual effects from the anesthesia?

Have any of you experienced this?

The good news was, the doctor did not find anything. The bad news was, the prep did not totally clean me out. I have to have another colonoscopy next year.

The treatment for dehydration is water. Treatment for the other is time. I think you're covered either way.

I can tell you from experience that the "stoned" feeling is normal after anesthesia.

Glad to hear the doctor found no problems. Good health is worth celebrating.
