While anesthesia is generally safe, it does carry some risks and potential side effects, which may include nausea, vomiting, sore throat, dizziness, and, in rare cases, more serious complications like allergic reactions or breathing difficulties. Your anesthesiologist will discuss these risks with you before the procedure.
