Anyone else experience a fast heart rate (100 and up) after surgery? I'm close to two weeks out.

I am four days out from surgery and have to take my pulse and heart rate twice a day. If my pulse is over 110 or temperature is over 100.5 I am suppose to call in as it could b a sign of a leak.I would keep checking it and if it get over 110 I would give them a call. Do you have a Temperature?

this is one of the signs of a leak, if it is higher than what is normal I would call your doctor. Other signs include fever abdominal pain.

Hope its not good luck to you

My surgeon was the one who caught it on Tuesday when it went from 120 to 140. But other than this, everything looks great. No pain, no fever, nothing! Even he is baffled, I had an EKG Tuesday that was normal except my heart rate.

Has your surgeon done a leak test?

Yes, I had a leak test the day after surgery.

My pulse was recorded at 100 this last Tuesday, but probably because I have been battling one heck of a flu this week. Typically, my resting heart rate is between 50 and 60 so 100 really surprised me.

This is alarming to me because when I was monitored in the hospital, my heart rate was in the 70 to 80 range. Even when I was in pain!

Leaks can happen several weeks out so may want to rule that out again.

However, increased heart rates and arrhythmias may occur after any surgery. It also can be a reaction to any medication, pain relievers and sometimes even Vitamins. I go berserk with PSEs (I have a mild arrhythmia).

Periodic racing and short-term arrhythmias are usually nothing to worry about. If your pulse is a constant 100 you may want the cardiologist to check that out. Or the skips/flutters last for several minutes followed by any feeling of faintness that's something to be concerned about (my PCP just reminded me of this today).

If it's normal most of the time then occasionally races, that could just be after effect of surgery and should settle down.

Sounds like u r dehydrated. Dehydration can cause an elevated heart rate. This something that can easily happen after surgery.

Maybe, but I've been getting plenty of fluids everyday.

Do you have thyroid issues? High pulse is one of the side issues. Mine ranges 90-120 on a normal day.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
