  7. I'M 1 WEEK POST BREAST...

I'm 1 week post breast augmentation and having chills/cold sweats at night. I can't sleep. What's causing this?

I was taking Percocet for 4 days after surgery but have switched to ibuprofen and I've never had issues with ibuprofen. Just concerned at what the problem is. My abide reflex has been worse than normal and I didn't know if maybe that was part of the problem?
