  • Hi Alwayslate

    I had my operation 7th March. I was only sick in intensive care I think it was a reaction to the amount of drugs I needed through the operation. My BP dropped and heart wasn’t stable so I needed a lot of after care. 
    I haven’t been sick since though my diet is very beige I’ve gone back to the diet I had after my bowel surgery as that has gone into hyperdrive 

    Breathless yes it’s so frustrating. A couple of steps and my legs ache especially climbing stairs. My heart thumps most if the time. 
    I think it may just be time. Although if my BP doesn’t settle I’m going to see my GP if I can see a doctor. 
    Can you phone your nurses they should be able to help with you nausea?

    Do you have discomfort when you swallow ?

    best wishes
