Post-op

[nmk816]

So I'm a few days post-op and already out of the hospital. Feeling weak and tired. My neck hurts and chest feels like my heart is racing. I tried checking my blood pressure and my monitor won't even read it. Does it get better?

  Hmmm well Percocet will slow breathing and heart rate.....so I do not think that is doing it, but it could be the caffeine.....??

What exactly are u taking and what dose?

Since it has gotten worse out of the hospital, I would suggest u call ur Dr.

I'm on Percocet and something with caffeine in it. I had some heart issues at the hospital, but not this bad.

  Hi...yes, it does get better....take things slowly ...walk a little more each day as long as u do not trigger pain in doing so...

I believe slow and steady wins....that is y I have a turtle as my avitar.....

U got out of the hospital very quickly...and I am sure ur Dr is available to u if u have ne issues.

What meds are u on? As the heart palps could be from the meds.
