music1618 879 Posted March 13, 2013 I have my first bad cold since my bypass in June 2012. I got antibiotics for the ear infection and DayQuil for the URI. However something is making me feel like I am on speed. I don't remember driving home yesterday and had to turn around on my way to work today. I am not able to keep much food down as I am throwing things up. Please help me. I'm not even sure what doctor I should reach out to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady grace 1 Posted March 13, 2013 Call your bypass surgeon and let him know what going on. Also DayQuil can make your heart race and make you feel like you are on speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BBdoodle 483 Posted March 13, 2013 I have my first cold since bypass (4/9/12) I have been taking alka seltzer cold and it has helped with the stuffy nose, headache, congestion. I would call you surgeon and see if they can recommend something for you. I would stop taking any cold meds. I hope you feel better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cyster 5 Posted March 13, 2013 My Doc as well told me to stay away from Day/nightQuil products. Told me to stick to Tylenol. They actually have several Tylenol items that have helped me. I also started taking lots of B12 to build my Immune System Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not able to keep much food down as I am throwing things up. Please help me. I'm not even sure what doctor I should reach out to. Definitely call your surgeon. That sounds dangerous! I too was told no NyQuil or DayQuil. My surgeon recommends Tylenol cold. I hope you get this figured out and start feeling better soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pam Peltz 56 Posted March 14, 2013 BBdoodle: isn't alca seltzer carbonated? Bubbly? My understanding is that is a big no-no. Please check with your md. It could hurt you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
