No, anesthesia is not painful. It can be given as a:
Gas that a patient breathes in through a mask
A liquid that's injected into the patient's veins through a cannula.
The anesthetic drug will show its effect very fast, and the patient will start feeling lightheaded before unconsciousness within a minute.
Temporary confusion, dizziness, sore throat, nausea and vomiting and urinary problems are possible side effects of general anesthesia; this is common in older people.
General anesthesia, used for major surgeries, induces loss of consciousness, puts you in a deep sleep, and renders you immobile so that the surgeon can perform the surgery.
Anesthetic drug stays in your bloodstream for up to 24 hours, depending on the type of operation done and the anesthesia used for it. Do not drive or do any risky work unless advised by the doctor.
