Hi, I had a lumpectomy and SLNB last Thursday (it is now Monday) and I feel increasingly dizzy and nauseous. I’m fine if I’m lying down but feel pretty rough otherwise. I also feel very tired. I don’t have a temperature and I’m only taking paracetamol from the hospital. Is this normal?
Hi, I felt like I had a hangover for about 10 days. I mentioned this at my 2nd lumpectomy ( for better margins) and anethatist said that some people have a reaction to the gas. So 2nd time I only had the drugs to sedate me-no gas, and I was absolutely fine. I wonder if you have had a similar reaction? X
