Enhanced deficits after sedation?

Hey everyone!

It’s been 5 months since my ischemic stroke and I had a Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE) under sedation 2 days ago.

Ever since that procedure, I’ve thrown up and had the same type of headaches and nerve pain that I had right after the stroke. Lots of brain fog too. Has anyone else experienced their deficits getting worse after sedation?

I’m very emotional because I made so much progress and now I feel like I’m right back at square one.
