Will it be okay that i have a stuffy nose during surgery? I don't have any other cold symtoms..no sore throat, no cough, no fever.

Hi Sianka,
Just for your own peace of mind it would be best to talk to your doctor.

I did - they said if it's only a stuffy nose then I would be fine but if i got worse we'd have to reschedule. I was just wondering what other people's thoughts, knowledge or experience was on this subject.

thanks!

As long as your lungs are strong and clear it shouldn't be a problem at all. In fact if it's just a head cold then sometimes the medicines they give you in the hospital can even help clear it up. Good luck.
