Margaret, I'd be hap?

Margaret, I'd be happy to answer your question. Assuming you received the typically-administered medications for colonoscopy, the anxiety and panic attacks you are experiencing are not related to the anesthesia. These medications are long out of your system by now. Furthermore, they would be expected to have the opposite effect, as the most common medications used during colonoscopy involve reducing pain and anxiety.

Should you have a colonoscopy performed after two years when nothing was found and now you are now passing small hard stools?

Depending on your age, maybe it is time for another colonoscopy. That aside, you may want to revisit your diet to be sure that you are getting enough water and fiber. An apple a day really can help the situation, as can drinking a few (2-3) glasses of water. For most people, 5 servings (1/2 cup) of fruits, nuts and vegetables are recommended.
