What Causes Body Aches And Palpitations After A Bilateral Breast Reduction?
hi, i just recently had bilateral breast reduction on may 2. everything was going ind until Sun i wasn t able to sleep because of body aches and chills. I discovered IV was left in my arm as well. to make a long story short i went and got some antibiotics and iv out. the dr. said i may have infection. i keep running a temp at night with my heart racing like someone is playing with some drums or something then it will stop and just slow down for a few minutes and start right back up.my body seems to have a temp in my upper body around my neck or something. i haven t start sweating yet. but i can t sleep . oh feel to mention i have graves disease as well.

Hello,
The symptoms you mentioned in your question are suggestive of infection (thrombophelibitis) which was most probably due to the IV cannula left there in your arm as these symptoms have nothing to do with your graves disease.
I suggest you take antibiotics as Augmentin 625 twice in a day for 5 days and Paracetamol after every 8 hours until your fever will subside.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Naira Jahangir, OB and GYN Specialist
