So I’m 5 weeks post op, and 2 weeks back to work. I’m still not feeling right. I’m having heart palpitations, tremors, some dizziness when standing for short periods. Went in to see my PC doctor. He ran a hold panel of blood work. By blood chemistry all came back normal, but omg my vitamins levels were off the chart. In other words I’m over dosing on vitamins. My potassium level it at a critical low. Which it causing the heart palpitations and the tremors. One of my blood pressure meds also had a diuretic in it also pulled water. My body it a mess.
So they had me stop taking my vitamins until Sunday, changed my blood meds, and I have to drink this potassium stuff once a day. I also got some bananas.
Cut back on my protein drinks, they upped my diet to solids.
You can get to much of a good thing.Believe me. I’m taking an other week off until I’m feeling a little more stable.
I’m still glad I had this surgery done. My body just need to adapt.
