Question
I am 43 years old. I Had a DNC done at the hospital and coming out of anesthesia my heart rate dropped to 18 before it came back up. My husband said that I was grey in color.My husband said they gave me something in my IV to get my heart rate back up.
Ever since then I can not see close up. Everything is blurry? I purchased some over the counter Glasses from CVS, which have helped some. Could it have been from the Complications coming out of anesthesia.

Answer
Obviously there is no way for me to know this without doing some further testing. I would recommend first seeing an opthomologist to see if the vision problems are real. If so, a CT might be the next test. Without those results, it is hard to say if this is a complication or not.
