QUESTION

This is my 3rd time feeling like this and I'm wondering why and if anyone has experienced such. First I was sleeved 3mts ago with no complications, nothing!!! Until recently I have experienced chest discomfort with hot flashes that last about 5min or so. I usually take my ometrazol and feel better. But this time it was more severe and traveled to my stomach and lasted longer. I'm sure it had to be something I ate but I can't be certain. Just concerned????

I would run it by your doctor. That never happened to me, however I only had gastric reflux issues before surgery until they fixed my hiatal hernia, so I don't have a frame of reference for that complication after surgery. I did however have plenty of hot flashes and every once in awhile if I eat something I shouldn't, I still do. For me sugar still does it, but in the beginning carbs and sugars made me hot, sweating, and breathing fast for about 20 minutes after I ate whatever it was I shouldn't have eaten, so that part at least seems normal.

I got hot flashes and light headed/sweaty with anything sugary too! It sucked, but then again, I now avoid most of that stuff because of the feelings, so maybe not such a bad thing.

Definitely discuss with your doctor, but it likely is just an intolerance for certain foods now.

Thanks currently in ER and of course they can't tell you nothing but I will ask at my next visit this month. I did eat ice cream the last time and a small piece of cake because I had the sweet tooth. So maybe I need to avoid such and try to maintain on my plan. But the chest discomfort is questionable ????
