Hi again everyone,now into 5 weeks post op.,started getting really hot burning sensations in my face and neck, and feeling a bit headachy as well, its only been the last couple of days and it only lasts a couple of hours, but its really uncomfortable , i have checked the leaflets of tablets im taking and nothing like this is mentioned, apart from this my healing process is going great.

    Might be unconnected to your HR..Could just be a virus,which can give mild fever  symptoms.

    My first thought: is there any chance that you are experiencing a negative reaction to a medication?

      hi Dawn, well i have cut right down on medication as dont seem to need it that much now, was wondering if its the little pink ones for stopping a blood clots, but only another three days left to take them now so will hang in there with them till finished, otherwise i only take ibruprofen now once or twice a day.

    How old are you? Could it be menopause?

    What medication are you on?
