I took my vitamin c and iron supplement this morning and I feel nauseous. Is this normal 2 weeks post breast reduction?

Question

I am anemic. I have sharp pains in both breasts. Stitches feel tight. I take Tylenol for pain (About 1 per day now) and ibuprofen (1-3) daily for swelling. I am 2 weeks post op bilateral breast reduction.

Hello and thank you for your question.
Taking vitamins on an empty stomach can cause you to feel nauseous. Try eating prior to taking the vitamins, Tylenol, and ibuprofen. Best wishes!

Dear Shanty93,I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.Daniel Barrett, MD
