A few days after surgery I starting having terrible nausea and vomitting. I'm on two different antinauseas but neither help. I stopped taking all pain killers 48 hours ago thinking they were to blame but I'm still nauseous. What could be going on? I've had several doctors say my breasts are healing wonderfully and my blood work came back fine...

Answer: Nausea 5 days after breast reduction surgery. What could be going on? Drs said my breasts are healing and blood work came fine. Thank you for your question. Sorry to hear about the ongoing problem. Stopping the pain medication is a good first step. It also may be due to other medications you might still be taking. Also, the narcotic medications can cause constipation so be careful with that. You might need an alternative medication for nausea. I would suggest going to see your doctor for an evaluation to make sure everything is ok and to formulate a plan. Best of luck!Dallas R.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question and I am sorry to hear of your nausea issues. Most commonly this is still a situation of anesthesia, pain medications, and the stress of the procedure on your body. If lab work proved negative you should see steady improvement in your symptoms with time. Best wishes.
