Does anyone think I should contact the nurse I don’t seem to be getting any better I’m getting worst ? I’m POD5 now. Last night I was getting a little bit of a headache woke up today with the headache booming and feeling sick! I’m fed up of this sicky feeling does anyone else feel nausea? 🙁 and my right boob is more swollen and hurting me more than my left
Just want to know if this is normal I thought I was meant to be getting better each day as it comes not worst 🙁 xxx
Also I’ve had this sicky feeling since I come out of my op I threw up a few times which they kept me in over night for (I was only a day case) the nurse told me it would pass but it hasn’t 🙁 day 5 now and still feel like throwing up! X
sometimes the antibiotics and codeine can make you feel sick, a side effect of both is nausea. i suffered badly with stomach pains, bloating and sickness but it does pass. if you’re really worried, i would call your nurse hun xx
Yeh still taking them, I was given co-codamol and co-amoxiclav I keep thinking maybe it’s the co-codamol cos they are making me very drowsy aswell knocking me out all I did yesterday was slept and I’m thinking it’s the tablets xx
@amylaceyx I seem to have more pain on my right than left. I think this is pretty normal as they are two seperately procedures so will have 2 seperately healing processes.
Check what meds you’re on. Some antibiotics can make you feel very sick xx
Yeah you need to stop the co codamol now, as that makes you nauseous, bloated, constipated etc. Just stick to paracetamol and ibuprofen now and you’ll notice a difference ? also for swelling use like ice packs or something too. Antibiotics won’t make you feel nauseous ? xx
yeah swap to paracetamol and ibuprofen and you’ll notice a big difference ☺️ until all meds are out of your system you will feel a bit all over the place! your body’s gone through a lot so it’s going to feel very battered for a bit, a good diet will also give you a bit more energy too but take it easy xx
Thanks a lot girls xx ye I’ll swap them for paracetamol see how I get on as its obviously the co-codamol that’s making me feel like rubbish I can’t take much more of the nausea 🙁
I feel terrible at the mo I’ve only noticed it may be the meds because this morning I took some co-codamol as I felt really poorly when I got up but it’s made me feel 10 times worse if anything xx
were you taking your meds with a little bit of food each time? i was told to take it all with food each time as on am empty stomach codeine and the antibiotics can seriously hurt your tummy 🙁 hope you feel better soon hun! it will improve! xx
I’ve been taking them with food and without, sometimes I won’t feel like eating cos of the sickness I’ll see how I get on now through the day by swapping to paracetamol if nothing changes I’ll contact my nurse
And I hope so Helen can’t wait to feel a little bit normal again xx
I got worse before i got better, i literally never ever suffer from even headaches but day 5/6 i had a migraine and still had massive headache for ages after, had to be from the meds, once that passed tho i felt a million times better so fingers crossed your about to get over the worse, hope you feel better soon! Xx
I stopped taking the co drydamol on day three as it was making me feel so drowsy/dizzy/sickly. I was still in a lot of pain until about day 6-7 but just put up with it with paracetamol only….I’m day 10 now and feel so much better! X
I’ve managed to get through the day with paracetamol I feel 100 times better already! Must of been the meds I was on. Won’t be taking co-codamol again! Plus my nurse rang me this morning asking how I am when I explained she said as its only day 5 since op it’s normal so I don’t feel as bad now plus I’ve even had my hair washed earlier just to take the edge of things I really felt down haha! Thanks for your help girls hopefully I don’t get sick anymore ? Xxx
