Gas Lighting Anxiety Complications?

[@bobaFête]

Called it! Why would the other OR docs not consider the possibility of the patient vomiting bile?? Especially after dry heaving?? Honestly this makes me so upset. I find it really hard to trust doctors in general because they are so quick to write off anything as anxiety. Medical gaslighting is NOT an uncommon thing. It took me 16 years to get diagnosed correctly with EDS because of doctors doing this to me. I’m glad you took your patient seriously - you might have saved their life. The world needs more medical professionals like you.

[@Tiggmuffin]

It's always nice to meet another zebra from the dazzle, I feel your pain, I am still in an abusive relationship with many in the medical field! I've had my diagnosis for 8 years now and still have problems with some drs......but im not meek anymore.....im going to fight! They will have no chance after my upcoming surgery, turns out I've never had a proper functioning nose and went 40 years with less oxygen than I should have......im going to be so fast and strong when I have oxygen!!! I hope you are doing well and fighting the good fight for yourself!

What's EDS?

[@bobaFête]

@@sl4983 Ehlers Danlos Syndrome - it’s a genetic condition that affects the way a person’s body produces certain connective tissues, typically Type 1 collagen. People are impacted to varying degrees, but it usually causes joint pain and instability and often people have problems with different organs. EDS is a good example of an invisible illness and/or variable disability. Usually those affected don’t look unwell, and their illness may impact them differently from one day to the next. It was once believed to be very rare, but actually it’s more likely under-diagnosed. I’m not a medical professional, but if you have any questions I’d be happy to answer them from a patient’s perspective.

We really need more surgeons like you. Going to have lascospay surgery for endometriosis and I'm terrified

[@elizabethlewis3509]

The more I learn it helps understand and gain confidence consulting anesthesiologists being a pain patient. Thank you

[@MedicalSecrets]

That confidence is SO powerful and no one can take it away from you

[@ladyscarfaceangel4616]

My anxiety symptoms usually don't make me have nausea. It will suppress my appetite. I know anxiety can affect the digestive system. My main symptoms are tremors & dizziness. I'm afraid of losing control of my body. Occasionally the tremors can be so bad it affects my coordination. Hopefully one day we will be able to better understand mental health.

[@AnneTedford]

Good luck with your surgery opening

[@savanahasargent4856]

🤢. Next Friday - Cryo-Ablation for me. Had to meet with Cardiac Anesthesiologist before they agreed to do it. My therapist called my Electrophysiologist Cardiologist to inform him of my CPTSD and Trauma disorder. Very grateful for that (hoping no more medical gaslighting as in the past). YOUR videos have helped so much. Thank you

I have severe acid reflux I rescued to eat for five day before my knee surgery only bone broth.i was anorexic / bulemic in my past thought I was over this but it came back big time. I'm very honest with my Dr I'm sacred I'll die there leave my family in tears m...since I'm.not prepared to let my sister's or brother down I survived ...I could put any family through grief

Hi from Australia love your show

[@darriontunstall3708]

Great live stream man! I really enjoy it! Congrats on opening your new clinic, I’m happy for you! You’re a great anesthesiologist! I really enjoy donating to the anesthesiologist Foundation since It was hard for me to go to college to be a anesthesiologist after I graduated high school in 08 because of my cerebral palsy, I’m 32! I love your Tesla! I love all electric cars! You rock man

When my anxiety is severe. I have to urinate frequently and swallowing gets hard. I get waves of panic, I feel cold and can suffer depersonalization. Those all happened before my last procedure. I didn't feel sick though. Not sure why. Some people do, but I don't eat when I have bad anxiety either. 😕

[@jessicamermaid2438]

Hi there, Doc. Practice makes...well, better. Perfection is an impossible standard when judging something subjective; like my opinion of your presentation. Speaking of which, it was very hard to follow. I believe "anxiety" (I struggle with extreme forms of it myself) got the best of you in this video. You seemed very nervous. However, I appreciate what you are trying to share in your videos and truly believe, practice will help you get better at using this forum for public speaking. Though, the fact that you are handsome, does make it easier to watch. I do want to thank you for addressing the important topic of "Gas Lighting" and how it can effect the medical care a patient receives. It is under realized and can be very dangerous; requiring wider discussion and education opportunities for physicians and patients, alike. --Jessica from Florida 🌞

I’ve been under a few times and never felt nauseous. I try to always stay positive abt a situation like if I when especially comes to surgeries. And I especially pray God will take care of us & Doctors & nurses

[@sl4983]

My sleep doctor told me I should see a psychiatrist for issues and refused to prescribe my working sleep med. Now that's gaslighting!

I'm so sorry you experienced that 😔

I must say you really are amazing kind caring and calming .. I mentioned to you about my issues after hernia surgery ..which 2 weeks later I had an infected seroma .. I'm on high antibiotics for 3 months ... With a risk of cardiac issues and liver problems hence the weekly ECG'S and bloods ... After watching you I now feel I've got this .. although I'm having bad flu symptoms you've made me stronger it ain't the begging of the end for me I'll get there just going to take some time ...

I always dry heave fir several minutes before throwing up because the food that I throw up is several hours digested so takes some time to get it back up my throat. I never eat and immediately throw up.

[@blueomega2853]

This is really interesting. I enjoy watching your videos, I don't work in this profession but it's just interesting to me.

[@markmcgoveran6811]

Here let me add something that everybody's anxiety it's just a job where I go in here and you kill me halfway. Other than that it seems pretty simple and straightforward.

[@tammymyers9828]

Yes nausea with anxiety is a real thing and Drs absolutely gaslight it unfortunately

[@MedicalSecrets]

Many people gaslight and lose the opportunity to heal those who have placed their trust in them. I try to change that mentality here!

[@marinavurdelja7778]

Before the first operation, I didn't have any stress at all, I was relaxed, waking up was like from a wonderful dream, but after an hour I started to vomit a lot, for 4 hours I was hydrated by infusion and given small injections to raise the pressure, I felt I didn't feel my body while the nausea and vomiting lasted. It was my first gynecological laparoscopy, instead of going home the same afternoon, I left the next day, after that I had another laparoscopy, before the anesthesia I was given medication to prevent vomiting after the op, but I was so afraid that it wouldn't happen again the same that after the anesthesia I woke up terribly stressed, mild tremors, a feeling of fear, I did not vomit. After that, I had a follicle puncture under short anesthesia, I also received anti-nausea medicine before, everything was fine, but after that bad first experience, I go under anesthesia every time, terrified that it won't happen again. I was so scared for the puncture that my heart rate was 140, I received part of the dose of propofol a few minutes before to calm everything down, only then to fall asleep completely, waking up also full of fear and restlessness for a good 3 hours after. If that first vomiting with severe weakness hadn't happened, I probably wouldn't have been so panicked not about the anesthesia itself, but about waking up.

[@lindakelsch6196]

Had surgery 8/15, L thumb CMC/tendon harvest, L Thumb MCP volar plate capsulodesis and L endoscopic carpal tunnel release. I did NOT want to take narcotics. My anesthesiologist did a L shoulder nerve block...lasted about 22 hours and pain RX administered perioperatively. I kept my arm elevated, used ice when my hand felt warm and swollen and used 2 Aleve and 1300 mg of tylenol every 12 hours...Surgeon's PA said this is a painful surgery.. she gave me 25 tabs Oxycodone 5mg... 8/26... I still have 25 tabs of oxy. Never needed to take any...pain was between a "2-3" 0-10 with a occasional pain spike every now and then of less than a second. I am wondering...took me about 8 days to feel more myself, very sleepy and did not tolerate activity, is that related to anesthesia? I really love your videos! Thank you for the great information...

[@Unknown5925-]

I have really bad acid reflux. I throw up in the middle of the night in my throat where it wakes me up. I do asperate at times where it takes my breath away. I have brought it to my gastrologist several times. I'm now looking for a new one. I do have raspy voice due to this and they won't give me an answer why one side of my throat doesn't work. I have difficulty swallowing at times with certain foods and pills.

[@1naturelover]

What about people with a narrow esophagus?

[@Jtronique]

Hey doc! Great video. I had anxiety ABOUT the anti-nausea patch, because I knew that scopolomine (anti-nausea patch) can cause urinary retention. And never having had a catheter before, even though I knew I was going to have a slimline (not Foley), I wanted to be able to pee easily. Lucky me, I did not have nausea, no patch, and cleared urine just fine PO :)

[@EVAdventuesRob]

Even if nausea is result of anxiety, vomiting can still happen. Preventive antiemetic? Q: Can you BE anxious under general Ames? If so can you perceive that anxiety?

[@MedicalSecrets]

These are such fantastic questions! Let's discuss them on the next live stream, because the answers are difficult to put in a short comment, but are very important in understanding our brain and body!

Yip I was going through this for 10yrs dealing with ovarian cyst pain and they just ignored me all those 10yrs just thinking I was faking my pain so they caused my cyst to grow to 12cm.. also have came across a patient that has laryngospasm and have stage 1 endo and my bladder was badly backed up because of the cyst.. I am still so angry at the medical doctors for not helping me and causing me so much pain that destroyed half of my career life…

[@spiritmediumclaytonsilva649]

I suffer from severe anxiety and especially surgery really gets me anxious to the point of panic so I just have to tell myself let them put an iv in and then I ask first thing for some Versed. And my bp goes up and I start shaking so normally the anesthesia provider has no problem giving me 1-2mg of midazolam. Then I’m fine and stop freaking out.

[@JulieTobin-Ruszczyk]

Can you speak on trauma, surgery, sepsis and developing myositis after. Broken ankle that requires external fixtator, 104 temp afterwards and myositis that I fought for years after.

What does the body reveal about itself under anesthesia??

[@MedicalSecrets]

It can reveal much about its mental health state. Have you seen my videos on it?

[@sl4983]

@@MedicalSecrets No but I will! Thank you!

[@Nadeshiroo]

Yes it’s easy to get sick before surgery cause it’s actually scary. I’ve recently been sick just crazy stuff ended up with emergency surgery scared me to death. I think for a couple days I was so scared I was afraid of shock. Got home and 3 weeks later stared running fever thought it was a virus but I had it for 2 days checked for covid but neg. Had a urine test done it was neg. So the 3rd day could not even get Tylenol to bring it down ended up being a infection from surgery.

[@FatherDuck80]

You can’t trust these people you need to take it upon yourself to have antibiotics pre-op and post op and let them know. JFK hospital in. Palm beach county has the highest infection and death rate post -op because its a filthy disgusting facility and the doctors there do Not care. Governor Desantis just took away all the hospitals in the states immunity and mono we can criminally charge them for their crimes and neglect

[@bonnienovak5089]

I always talk with anesthesiologist before surgery as I have nausea with drugs used. Never have I been gaslighted.

[@MedicalSecrets]

That's great to hear!

[@serinodiaz4140]

Some surgeon do it there way or no other way . Is this because they train trainees or have fellows do the surgery without briefing or explaining to get clear open consent?

[@carolarnold1016]

Doc....so what did the horse voice have to do with the fact he ate before surgery?

[@MedicalSecrets]

The nature of the hoarse voice was concerning for there being chronic, unrecognized and undiagnosed acid reflux. Even in somebody who may not have eaten before the surgery, the presence of such severe acid reflux could be concerning for delayed gastric emptying, which is what I suspect caused the major bile juices in the patient's stomach

[@cassandracrady2652]

When I had a transplant I was all of a sudden called in for the transplant in the evening like 10:30 at night. How do they handle the stomach contents at 5hat time when you can’t fast?

[@MedicalSecrets]

Great question! I hope your surgery went well. We handle the full stomach with aspiration precautions. I discuss these precautions in other videos, and we can definitely talk about it in the next live stream!

[@clarkgrayhame1250]

I had a kidney transplant 3 years ago. I remember the anesthesiologist came in and gave me a sedative before they took me to the OR. When I get in there she told me she was giving me something and I don't remember anything else after that. I know I was shaved and given a couple more IVs and a catheter. I was out for everything. It was the best sleep ever. What a great group of physicians, surgeons and nurses I had for that whole process.

[@MedicalSecrets]

I'm so happy you had a positive experience!

[@iam1smiley1]

I felt very nervous and the anesthesiologist said he could give me something to relax but my pulse and BP was kept low as I tried my best to relax and breath on the table, so I don't think he did. Next the lights went out 🤣

[@markmcgoveran6811]

If you want to stop having anxiety you have to pay the dues to stop having anxiety. First you come in balls to the wall full throttle. I do this by asking if there's anybody at this hospital that's a student and can work on me because they need to learn on somebody and you guys couldn't kill me with a hammer handle if you had all day. Then I back it up with actions. If I can't do both I will not be able to quell my anxiety. I went in for emergency surgery because I had an abscess on my anus. I told the surgeon to have the new people work on me because they're going to have to have it right and they're going to have to have it right now on some kid. On me I'm huge and healthy and it just not a big deal you can't kill me let the new people have a shot at some meat(). The surgeon said okay these are all residents and students. Here's where I backed it up with action. I said everybody line up or some OJT smallest finger first. I ain't anxious but I paid my dues.

Thank you for being conservative!

[@BubaLabinski223]

Zofran a great anti-nauseous medication I have to have it after I wake up from anesthesia because I get terribly nauseated and I start dry heaving so if you do the same thing I suggest you tell the anesthesiologist that after the anesthesia you come out you get nauseated and ask him for Zofran it’ll be your best friend

[@pjmacinnes831]

Zofran doesn't work at all on me. It has to be promethazine. I am VERY firm about this and thankfully, they've listened.
