Afternoon everyone! So lastnight after preparing to go to bed I decided to change my hairsytle(braids) and as im reaching up taking my hair out the ponytail....I notice that I suddenly start to feel very tired so I stopped for a few minutes...Of course thinking its just normal I take a couple sips of water and start again....out of nowhere I broke out into a cold sweat, my heart felt like it was going to beat out of my chest because it was rapidly beating soooo fast,I became very short of breath and feeling extremely nauseous!! I thought I was going to faint literally! So I quickly laid back on my bed and tried to relax with utter fear gripping me tight...I tried to relax and it calmed down some. I then got up and took a phenergan(nausea pill) and laid down...I eventually was able to walk around and began to feel somewhat normal but I ended up falling asleep still feeling a little nauseous...I woke up feeling fine a litle sluggish from the Phenergan of course but fine other than that....Im 2 weeks out post op and I have done extremely well not having any problems and have actually lost 40lbs already and thats including pre-op liquid diet before surgery..Ive been extremely active since I came home from the hospital and walk everyday so this has really scared me....PLEASE...if anyone has any clue or has even possibly experinced anything like this BY ALL MEANS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CHIME IN!!!! thanks in advance to you all

I remember something similar in the first few weeks (I'm 3 months out now) when I would blow dry my hair. Any time I reached above my head, it was somewhat painful and I got very weak. I just figured it was part of the healing process. It went away not long after that. But maybe you should call your doctor just to be safe?

Oh Ok...it's so good to know someone else has experienced it...if it continues to happen I will definitely give my doctor a call..you best believe I won't be reaching up anymore this week..except to put on or take off my shirt!!! Lol...thank you for your response!!!!

It's probably because of the stitches in your stomach muscles. I had some terrible pain as well for about a month. It's because you're moving around more and pulling on those stitches. Once they dissolve, you should be fine.
