After Conscious Sedation
You may feel drowsy for a good part of the day following a sedation procedure. This is perfectly normal. Take this opportunity to relax and recover. It is important for your safety that you abide by the following list of recommendations for the first 24 hours following your sedation procedure:
- Please drink lots of water
- Please refrain from driving
- Drink no alcohol
- Please take no sedatives
- If at all possible do not go up and down stairs. If absolutely necessary, do so only with able assistance
- Put off making any important decisions
- Do not operate any machinery
- Avoid any heavy lifting
