Hi everyone I'm just looking for some info to put my mind at ease. Is this feeling normal:

Had my lumpectomy on the 21st with 6 node dissection (all were clear)...I didn't handle coming out of the anesthesia the greatest was extremely nauseous and heart did some flip flops and lowered my pulse! I'm on my third day post op and wondered if these things were normal:

Under arm numbness? Feeling lightheaded with dull headache? Neck soreness? Still feeling nauseous?

Thank you for any advice you can give :)

    I think numbness is normal as some nerve endings were cut. Neck soreness may be due to positioning in OR.All the rest of the symptoms may be from anesthesia. Many are affected for a couple days, but if your gut tells you something isn't right, I would call your BS or whoever is on call for the weekend to discuss especially since you had that reaction in recovery. Better to be safe!

    i had lx on Monday 5/18. I had a trouble coming out of anesthesia. I had a dull headache and felt like i was in slow motion for two days. Hang in there.
