5 weeks out complication?

[newlifeb 1]

Had my bypass and I have struggled since day 1 first pain now 3 weeks of nausea and tonight I coughed/threw up blood. Idk if the blood is just from my stomach and esophagus irritated from all the dry heaving and throwing up or what what do u all think? Anyone experience coughing/throwing up bright red blood?

I am almost three weeks out and i did experience dry heaving and coughing, especially at night. What I found was that it was the percocet causing the issues. Once i stopped taking them, the issues went right away. Haven't coughed or dry heaved since. I hope your symptoms clear up soon.

Oh my... Five weeks post-op and you are throwing up blood? Please call your surgeon immediately. Bright red blood is never a good sign. Are you taking medication to prevent ulcers?

I agree, call your surgeons office immediately. Sometimes coughing up blood in the first few days is normal but I would definitely get checked out immediately!

Good luck and get well soon!

Coughing up bright red blood post-op from abdominal surgery can be a sign of pulmonary embolism. Do not hesitate or delay; call you surgeon ASAP.
