Fast pulse upon normal exertion



Recommended Posts

So I'm about 13 days post op and ever since surgery my pulse goes way up anytime I do anything, aside from sitting. Yes I'm hydrated. Dehydration isn't the issue. My ekg pre op was perfect and my resting heart rate always stayed around 72 pre op. Now it's high 80s, and mid 100s upon walking, standing, daily stuff etc. I'm really nervous that I screwed myself up and developed a health risk post op. I'm staying hydrated and getting 60 grams of Protein a day. Has anyone else experienced anything similar to this?

I suggest you follow up with your primary doctor and/or surgeon.

That's the plan but alas it's Sunday.

What did you find out? I'm 12 days out and was an avid exerciser before. I'm back to walking with 2lb hand weights but tonight after eating my heart rate is around 92. Don't feel stressed out so not sure why it's high.

I didn't find anything out honestly. I'm nearly 2 weeks out and still struggle. However, it as gotten MUCH better. It's horrible in the mornings, after dressing my pulse can be 129. Most of t he day upon exertion it stays in low 100s. I cannot work out like I used to AT ALL. I mean AT ALL. My pulse goes in the 90s if i eat too...usually if I accidentally eat too much. I believe that's normal. Had labs done today...praying to god it's a dietary thing, and not like Nervous system related. It all started with surgery...Never had an issue before.

Sorry I meant nearly 2 months.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
