hi i experienced rigidity in upper body during administration of general anaesthesia with a taste of gas in upper body also and could just about raise my arm to tell them. i was able to speak although very slowly. they then placed an oxygen mask over my mouth and asked me to take deep breaths. next thing i remember was waking up after the operation which went very well. i was afraid to mention what had happened at the time but will do when i meet my consultant next week. i dont know how I'll mention it without them thinking im accusing them of negligence. all i want to know is will i be able to undergo general anaesthesia in the future. any information will be gratefully received..
