I had surgery on Friday and for the past 2 day I have been feeling nauseous. It’s not there all the time and comes in waves. Not sure if this is common after surgery. It could also be pregnancy related or due to stress and tiredness. Has anyone else experienced this?

  • Hi, surgery can be quite rough on the body but I not sure that nausea is so very common, at least not looking at the advice in this link, that you might find helpful.Surgery info

    Don't forget you can always call the lovely folks at Macmillan on 0800 808 0000 if you want to chat anything through. I hope your surgery went well otherwise. Best wishes

  • Hi I had nausea after my mastectomy and was given anti sickness tablets. They said it was due to the anaesthetic and the pain medication I was on. They did help provided I was given them on time, which didn’t always happen when I was in hospital. 
    Take care
