What Causes Excessive Sweating Along With Fluttering Sensation In The Chest?

For several years I have had what I call gasping breathing off and on. I have had rotator cuff surgery ten days ago and since then I have had it several times an hour everyday since surgery. The last tewo days I have felt feverish and sweating but not fever registered. Ina ddition I have felt a fluttering feeling in my chest. Pro=op cardiac turned out fine. Today I checked my blood pressure a couple of times. reating blood pr, has been 150/86 and 140/86 with a pulse of 94. I am female and 60 years old and on medication for blood pressure. can this be due to my recent surgery? Thank

Hi,

I understand your concern and I do not think this is because of the surgery. Alternatively, this could be because of any of the anesthetic medications which have been used during surgery or the other option is postural orthostatic hypotension syndrome.

I suggest that you consult your primary care physician with these suggestions and get yourself evaluated, please.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
