Fast pulse upon normal exertion

[ckj 3]

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.
