A member asked:
How long should i feel weak after a colonoscopy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very brief: Most symptoms are from the sedation/anesthesia. The test itself shouldn't cause weakness. Missing some meals might bother some patients, but within a few hours after resuming meals, you should feel fine.
