Yes: this may be due to any type of pain medication you are taking as well as the anesthesia and sedation you received during the procedure. This should resolve after a couple of days depending also in whether u r still taking pain meds. The stress of the procedure can also make you queasy related to stomach acid. If it persists please see the doctor. Good luck to you!
