A member asked:
Had an angiogram, came up clear. in recovery the o2 sat machine kept going off due to hitting 89. could the sedative used in procedure cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Sedation can cause hypoventilation, or slow breathing. It can also be related to smoking or other lung issues. Relax. They would not have sent you home if there was an issue.
