High pulse, diarrhea, headache, helplessness and regret 4 days post op Tummy Tuck. (photos)

Asked By:footballmom210 in San Antonio, TX

I'm feeling bummed. The pain was terrible and now its mostly discomfort and tightness of course. My pulse rate has never come down from 120 since I left the hospital on day two. It was 150 post-op, and I got beta blockers. Blood pressure 140/97. Is that because of the pain? Dr. seems OK with it. Have a headache right now I'm just feeling really hopeless and depressed. Pretty mobile. Diarrhea has been every day and all day leaving me dehydrated. Any suggestions?
