A member asked:

I had my first colonoscopy yesterday morning around 9:00 a.m. today i feel very tired. how long should this last?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No more: Than 24-48 hours to get better The medications should wear off by now and you should gain strength back as you resume your normal diet. Also try and take in several cups of water or fluids today to rehydrate your body. If symptoms persist contact your GI doctor
