signs of leakage

[roseyandmusic 5]

I'm feeling not so good today. I have a stomach ache and last night I had rapid heart beats.

I fear I have a leak. What are the signs and symptoms.

Thanks

Extreme unexplained pain and fever.

Symptoms can include rapid heart rate, dizziness, shortness of breath, fever, worsening abdominal pain, left chest or shoulder pain, abdominal distention, the appearance of illness and a general feeling that something is very wrong. If you are concerned, I would check with a doctor.

Rosey -

Did you eat something you weren't supposed to eat? If you're sticking with the full liquids, I doubt you have a leak; however, if you're that concerned about it, go see your doctor or go to the ER. It's possible you have the flu bug that so many of us seem to have had the past few weeks. You might also consider calling Gaby and talk to her about how you're feeling.

Keep us posted.

Tell you Dad I said "HI"

Also, once you are two weeks out, your chances of developing a leak go way down....

It really sounds to me like you ate too much at some point. That can stimulate the vagus nerve and that can cause the rapid heartbeats. But I'm not a doctor so I don't want to discourage you from seeing yours if you are truly concerned, just reassure you as to the unlikelihood of it being a leak.

Since starting mushies, I've had the rapid heartbeats if I ate one bite too much. My heart rate wasn't terribly high (around 90) but my heart rate has consistently been 60-70 post-op.

I had one episode where I thought something was wrong, too. I think I let the anxiety make things much worse because once I stopped thinking about it, my HR returned to normal & I felt much better.

Please keep us posted. I pray you are feeling better.

Call your doctor! Simple enough...but hard to do. Calling the doctor is tough to do. I am a guy. It's like asking for directions...

Rosie how are things?

I was thinking of this today. Have an achiness on my left side under one of my stitches. Kinda feels like gas, but no other symptoms.

I did start taking Probiotics yesterday...bathroom troubles :ohmy:

I feel better. I talked to Dr. Campos. He said that he too gets the rapid heart beat when he drinks too fast and does not sip or when he eats something sweet or greasy. I think I've been drinking too fast (not sipping enough). I also had some refried beans; maybe it was too greasy. Thanks for the prayers.

Glad to hear you are feeling better!

Glad you're feeling better Rosey!

I'm so glad to hear you are doing better! It can be hard not to worry about complications...I'm sure we are all guilty...I know I am!
