1st Night after surgery sleeping issue

[ZeroCool 108]

Random post op question. I don’t have sleep apnea and I just had my surgery Friday morning at 7:30am. It’s now Saturday morning and I’m trying to fall asleep (I’m SO tired), and every time I doze off for a moment I wake up to a somewhat deep breath and it wakes me up. It’s driving me nuts 😕 anyone else experience this ?

It's from anesthetic, do your breathing exercises. Do your walking to get the gas out that they filled the abdominal cavity with to inflate organs in order to get to your stomach. sleep propped up a little. But walk first.

Yes, i had this too. Yesterday was my first full day at home after my bypass. Ive noticed its better already. First couple of days felt like I was in a half dream, half awake state anytime i tried to sleep. Propping myself up, doing the walks and taking deep breaths regularly helped it improve quickly. Slept 4 hours straight last night, awake for an hour than 3 more. It gets better fast!
