7 days post op: horrible night -chills, anxiety, fast heart rate



Recommended Posts

Hii! So I am 7 days post op. I haven't had a full night of sleep just yet there's always something that gets in the way. Last night was the first time I was really aiming for sleeping through the night. Though, I will admit I only got like 30 g of Protein in and maybe 30oz of Water. I woke up super late since I haven't been sleeping. So last night was terrifying. I woke up at 1130 to these insane chills, my heart rate was scary fast and I kept feeling like I was going to pass out. Whenever I would almost fall asleep my mind would like, scare me awake like an anxiety attack and it happened throughout the whole night. I was so scared I wanted to go to the hospital. I didn't feel okay until about 730 this morning. My legs were also getting numb. Has anyone ever had something like that before?

Don't know about the leg thing, but the rest sounds like low blood sugar.

I can't sleep either, and when I catch a nap I wake up to my own noises, my daughter said I was like trying to sleep talk. Since I can't sleep at night, I sleep mist of the morning so, no liquid intake and then I am weak and constipated. I have no pain, but yes some leg discomforts, but I had other surgeries and I know is the gas trapped.

Please contact your Dr ASAP. Some of it might be reactive hypoglycemia, or it could be worse but a Dr needs to be notified and you should be seen.

It sounds like a panic attack to me -- have you ever had one before? They can be very scary. But check with your surgeon, definitely!!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
