Tingling in lips postop for TT

littlerhodey

I just got home from surgery yesterday afternoon for a TT following huthle cell FNA. Surgery was the morning of March 10, 2009. I woke up today with tingling in my lips. I know this is related to calcium deficiency which was found postsurgically. Do I need to panic? Call the doctor?

I would call the doctor right away so they can check your calcium levels. Are you taking any calcium? Did they find you deficient in the hospital after the surgery?
