Not normally, but it is a well-known symptom of "anaesthesia awareness", so it may be that you had a mild case of that while the anaesthetic was wearing off and clearing from your system. Anaesthesia awareness is when a patient has some consciousness during anaesthesia.
I'd recommend telling a doctor on the team that did your surgery and making sure they record it in your notes. An anaesthetist assigned to you on any future surgery would hopefully read the notes and see you'd had mild anaesthesia awareness, and on that basis he or she may choose a higher dose or different anaesthetic for you.

What side effects of general anesthesia are normal several days after surgery?

I had a general anesthetic last Thursday, for an endometrial ablation. I was 'under' for approximately 30 minutes, before waking up. It is now Monday, and I have persistent nausea. Sometimes so severe, that it takes me to the edge of vomiting, but I have not vomited. I also have NO appetite whatsoever. I also had the worst headache I have ever had, during last night, that woke me up. (Sunday). One advil took it away, however, so that was short lived at least! I don't know if these side effects are normal after 3-4 days after having a general anesthetic or not, but that's what I am experiencing. Anyone else want to weigh in?


Why do you get hot after naps?

Getting hot after naps can result from several factors, including the body's natural temperature regulation processes. During sleep, your metabolism may slow down, and upon waking, the body works to return to its normal state, which can cause a temporary rise in body temperature. Additionally, the environment—like bedding or room temperature—can contribute to feeling warm. Hormonal changes and increased blood flow upon waking can also play a role in this sensation.
