please help me. post op night sweats from lap appendectomy
please help. i had a lap apendectomy on 4/4/11. it is now 4/13/11. ever since i got home i've had terrible night sweats and sometimes chills. i've went to the er regarding this they said blood work was fine, had my post op appt. yesterday where she as well felt around my belly and said everything was fine. if everything is fine why am i suffering with night swears waking me at 4-5am and again in the morning when i get up? it's keeping me from work as during the day im very nauseas (i have very bad anxiety) so i think that could be stirring that up. also under a lot of stress right now. hoping someone can help. could the night sweats just be my body fighting off everything? i'm on no pain meds not even tylenol anymore.
last night and today went better! i called my physc. she wants me to take 1mg of klonopin during the day cause im under a terrible amount of stress. that has helped. also last night when i woke up around 4-5am i wasnt soaked in sweat there was only a little bit. cbc, tsh, and a pregnancy test all ruled out normal. so im hoping its just after affects of the anesthia and surgery
