Elevated Pulse- 6 days post op



Recommended Posts

I had the sleeve 6 days ago (02/24). I’ve had elevated heart rate every day since. Ranging between 90-120 resting and 145 when Im up and around. My usual resting HR before surgery was occasionally elevated so I’m not sure if I should be concerned. I don’t have any shortness of breath but I do get easily fatigued when trying to walk around, this as well I guess could be due to the fact that I just had surgery. Anyone deal with something similar?

Dehydration and low electrolytes can cause elevated heart rate. That being said, I'd definitely call your doctor in the morning. Good luck!

Your body is healing from surgery. Not uncommon for heart rate to be up. Add dehydration to the mix and it is more likely. And fatigue is VERY normal post op. Hang in there, get your fluids in as best as you can. If you are still concerned, check in with your doctor.

Totally covered above - But try drinking some pedi lite and drown yourself in Water. You just shocked the hell out of your body and your mind is all over the place starting this journey, if course the ticker is running a little faster.

Also you can take a 80mg asprin see if that helps -

No, please don't take aspirin or at least not before checking with your surgeon!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
