Yesterday was my most active day since my surgery (5/1). I walked maybe a mile at the dog park with my two puppies. I also stopped taking my pain med (hydrocodone APAP)I was feeling pretty good, but I had a pretty restless sleep. I just didn't feel right and couldn't quite put my finger on it. Around 3AM, I couldn't stop coughing. I remembered that my pain med had a cough reducer. I took it, fell right to sleep and woke up about four hours later... my cough was gone but I had sweat like crazy (I don't normally sweat so it was very noticeable). I am thinking maybe I caught a little bug or something and the meds help knock it out?

Has anyone else had this type of experience? I feel fine now but wanted to get other people's insights. My first post-op appointment is on Thursday.

meds wouldn't knock it out in a few hours but dehydrstion would cause sweating...drink a lot today. I am thinking with the walking and you are still in recovery this might be it it was for me just last week.

Thanks for the reply. I had ~64 oz of water yesterday, but after the walk in the Florida heat, I probably could have tolerated more. I'll try to drink even more today.
