Odd. Not concerned, but is this normal?



Recommended Posts

For a few days now I've been able to literally hear and feel my jugular vein pulsing and beating. I'm curious if this is normal, or I'm a freakazoid and just happen to have a very strong heartbeat and circulatory system. I'm just hoping it's not one of those "little known" symptoms post-op that should make you run out to the doctor asap. I'm still learning so much! Please let me know that this is either a)common, b)I'm a freakazoid, 3) I should see my doctor asap 4) stop reading into every little post on here and becoming a hypochondriac.

Thanks gang!

You might want to change your color, it is currently white so we can't read it unless it is highlighted.

I agree, a call to the doc won't hurt

are you super hydrated. Drinking lots of Fluid will increase your blood volume and can make your blood flow awesome! If you have had an active morning your blood pressure could be elevated and going strong. Call if it is just making you crazy.

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
