If I don’t take sedation how do I keep my BP from elevating?

@riflemanz64 I can't answer that, but the attending anesthetist is the person who is supposed to monitor your vitals. They know what to do if you are moving outside of normal parameters and will react swiftly.

You are sedated; you just aren't totally unconscious. You are in kind of a twilight phase so very relaxed. It is no big deal. The biggest concern is to make sure not to do anything that would cause bleeding to occur where they go into either the wrist or groin for a few days after the procedure.
