blood clot or am I over reacting?
Hey sisters!
I am not sure if I am over reacting or if it is something else, but I am a tad worried.
Please let me know what you think...
Had surgery (not hyst...colon removal due to excessive endo from hyst) last week and the past few days I have been experiencing some strange symptoms...
light headed, last night I was driving and I almost passed out ... started sweating and fingers got tingly and lips went numb, couldnt see out of my right eye , so I pulle dover until I could see...
Then the past few days I get theis extreemly sharp pain in my side by my left rib cage that completely takes my breath away and is so shrp it makes me feel like I want to colapse.
Today I was so exhausted that I had to come home and I dont even remember hitting the pillow and slept for 4 hours without even budging, when I woke up I could have fallen back to sleep.
Should I be concerned? I am so sick of Doctors that I am trying to limit going in.
Please let me know if you think I am over reacting and that I am just worn out.
Thank you so much!
Jabs

I don't think your over reacting at all, call your doctor!!! I don't know if it is a blood clot or not, but I have had some of those syptoms when my blood pressure would get to high or to low.
You hired your doctor to do a job, now let him/her.
Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.
If your pain is that bad maybe you should go to the ER. Keep me posted please!

Hi jabbers,
I agree with tanner...it doesn't sound right to me. Please at least call your doctor's office. There should be an on-call doctor I imagine, that can return your call. It seems the extreme fatigue might be expected, but the other symtoms sound troubling. Let us know what you find out! I hope you are feeling better soon.

i know this sounds stupid, but I feel like an idiot for thinking there is something wrong...and I would feel stupid sitting in the er and having them tell me it is all in my head...
I will think about it...or maybe call the dr right now

I'm no health care professional but after all you have been through what is a little embarassment if you are wrong versus the alternative if there is a problem......

Hi again
I agree with the others...when you said you'd go in tomorrow, I thought you'd already spoken with the doctor, and made an appt to go in tomorrow. If you don't want to deal with ER, at least call your doctor's office and speak with someone tonight. I really doubt that the pain is in your head! If you are in unexpected, unexplained pain, it really makes sense to talk to someone soon.
