Could I have been given an anesthesia dose too high for me to tolerate?

Asked By:JacklynW

I recently went in to have my mommy makeover but upon starting the anesthesia my airway closed and my heart immediately stopped. I was rushed to the ER and they did CPR on me for 15min to get me back. After extensive testing, the doctors concluded that the anesthesiologist just gave me a dose that was too high for me to tolerate. When I spoke to him about it he said that’s not a thing and impossible. My question is, is it possible? I am searching for answers for any future surgeries I might need.
