Hi,
Spinal anaesthesia was given for the surgery for doing turp that had to be given. In many people the effect may last for a few days but it does not last for so long .
As far as the drugs given to your father is concerned,none of the drugs are such which can cause such a kind of sleeping attitude . Drugs given to him for hypertension might be causing this.
Does he have any history of heart disease ?

Hi,
I would recommend you to get a serum electrolyte done of your dad. If sodium levels comes out to be low then you have the cause and you will have to add a bit of salt in his diet and he will improve.
You can consult a urologist since all these problems you had were after the surgery.
Feel free to ask more question.
