7 days post op: horrible night -chills, anxiety, fast heart rate

[BariGrrl90 0]

Hii! So I am 7 days post op. I haven't had a full night of sleep just yet there's always something that gets in the way. Last night was the first time I was really aiming for sleeping through the night. Though, I will admit I only got like 30 g of Protein in and maybe 30oz of Water. I woke up super late since I haven't been sleeping. So last night was terrifying. I woke up at 1130 to these insane chills, my heart rate was scary fast and I kept feeling like I was going to pass out. Whenever I would almost fall asleep my mind would like, scare me awake like an anxiety attack and it happened throughout the whole night. I was so scared I wanted to go to the hospital. I didn't feel okay until about 730 this morning. My legs were also getting numb. Has anyone ever had something like that before?

This is a concern. I would go to hospital.

Don't know about the leg thing, but the rest sounds like low blood sugar.

I was exactly the same except the leg numbness, it was due to my anxiety and worrying about post op complications plus side effects of pain relief I think x

I can't sleep either, and when I catch a nap I wake up to my own noises, my daughter said I was like trying to sleep talk. Since I can't sleep at night, I sleep mist of the morning so, no liquid intake and then I am weak and constipated. I have no pain, but yes some leg discomforts, but I had other surgeries and I know is the gas trapped.

Please contact your Dr ASAP. Some of it might be reactive hypoglycemia, or it could be worse but a Dr needs to be notified and you should be seen.

It sounds like a panic attack to me -- have you ever had one before? They can be very scary. But check with your surgeon, definitely!!
