Return to hospital: We can't be absolutely certain that the symptoms you describe are due to the anesthesia and only an exam can begin to confirm that or find another cause - so go back to the hospital and ask for evaluation/treatment. Duration info cannot be determined until you know what's wrong and you'll feel better just being in a safe setting for handling whatever it is. Relax, but go ASAP. Best!
