Flushed face

[BeckyinTn 0]

I am wondering if anyone else has had this. I am about 40 hours out from surgery. I am not running a fever but my face is flushed like I am. My face is the only thing on me that is very warm. I don't feel to bad other than tired and sore which I am sure are both normal. I have been drinking my Clear Liquids like I am supposed to until tomorrow then it is full liquids.< /p>

Any ideas or suggestions?

I do that when I'm stressed. My face and neck light up light a bright red bulb.

It passes as soon as the stress goes away.

I had exactly the same thing happen and it was because my blood pressure was spiking. Take your pulse when it happens, if it is higher then 120 beats per minute call your doctor, however mine would go just to 110-120 and I would feel this way, face flushed but the rest of me was relatively cool. I just learned to live with it for a little while the "hot flashes" as I called then lasted about 5 days

Are you still on pain meds? I have had that happen to me on the pain meds. Hope you are doing well!

Yeah I read her post and I freaked out. I did call my doctor this morning. I was having an allergic reaction to the hydrocodone. He instructed me to take benadryl with my pain reliever and that helped alot.

Thanks for your help!
