Shivers, nausea and headache post op

Today is my 9th day post op and it's been really rough. I've been shivering all day, feeling nauseas and have a lingering headache. Today I could only stomach half a Protein shake and sips of Water I felt so bad. I had a bowel movement (surprising given all liquid consumption) and later had diarrhoea. Energy wise I've actually been surprised that I have more energy now than before surgery!

Any idea what it could be and how to stop it?

Ring your surgeon now. If you can't get in touch with your team, go to the hospital or healthcare centre.

Being dehydrated is bad for you and can cause you issues.

Have you been monitoring your temperature?

Certainly a possibility but needs checking out in case there is a post op infection, leak or unknown entity involved.

I would be seeking medical help immediately.
