High pulse after gallbladder removal
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hello everyone,
My mom is 65 years old and had her gallbladder removed with a laparoscopy surgery. She is being kept in the hospital for four days now due to the fact she had not eliminated the gas until now. The doctors told us after this she will get better and will be able to go home. Her pulse got really high yesterday up to 160, the doctors are telling us it's just an anxiety attack. I'm afraid something is wrong.. Can anyone help and maybe let us know if this is normal? I should probably mention that she barely ate some vegetables soup in these 4 days.
Any answer is helpful.
Thank you!

I had gall bladder removal too by laparascopic surgery. Right after I went out from tecovery room the nurses we're insisted me to push my self to stand and walk step by step in order to pass some gases in my stomach. After few hours I started to do it and I made to pass some gases. I never experienced high pulse rate on the first week after post surgery. The high pulses I've experience started when Im already in a few months until now but its just happening sometimes. The doctor said its just an anxiety. She must stay in a bland diet for awhile so that her stomach will not be surprise after the removal and can minimize the diarrhea.

I believe the stress of hospital and not eating plus the age is what got her with the high pulse.
Anxiety is terrible I'm so sorry to hear everyone is battling with it
Thank you again (actually I cannot thank you both enough) for taking a little bit of time to respond to me and by doing this calming me a little!
Wishing you all a healthy recovery.
Hugs,
Maddie
