Pulse 110 5 weeks post op Tummy Tuck

Thanks for your inquiry, I believe it is important you call your surgeon to discuss.  You are right a change in your heart rate this far out is unusual and your surgeon needs to evaluate.  

Thank you for your question.  Please see your plastic surgeon as soon as possible regarding your concerns about a higher than normal pulse rate following your tummy tuck.  This would not be a typical response to a tummy tuck and it would be worthwhile to have this checked out as soon as possible to make sure you are not experiencing a more serious complication such as a pulmonary embolism. Best of luck to you. 

Hi Football Mom. Congratulations on your tummy tuck! As others have said, it is best that you have your tachycardia evaluated by your surgeon or primary care physician. There are many reasons for an elevated heart rate, including more common reasons such as dehydration, anemia, fever/infection, and medication side effects and lesss common but more serious conditions such as heart arrhythmias and blood clots in the lungs. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question. This is not normal or common after 5 weeks. I recommend to see your PS for evaluation, may need to check some blood work make sure you are not anemic or some other causes. Good Luck

No, what you are experiencing is not "normal" and should not be attributed to swelling.  There may be several causes of tachycardia;  you need to be evaluated in person (today) with careful physical examination and possible blood work/cardiac evaluation.  Best wishes.

This does not sound at all normal and should be evaluated by your GP or internist.  Simple things like anemia could cause a rapid pulse and would require possible treatment but one should also rule out a pulmonary embolism or other complication.  Seek evaluation as expeditiously as possible....
