Waking up early morning with very high and irregular heart rate( 150-178 )it was scary so I rushed to the hospital and after many test they said everything is fine and they send me back home. I’m wondering if anybody had this before, I’m two weeks post surgery.
It sounds like afib & that's very common after surgery. You probably went back to normal sinus rhythm spontaneously. I had afib a week after I came home & choose to go back to the hospital for a cardioversion, but that was because I stayed in afib & didn't respond... Read more.

Having the same problem here. I couldn’t nap all day today
Call your doctors and see if you can take slept aids. I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble sleeping.
I stayed with my parents the first week and a half after surgery as my husband had a terrible cold. I had the same troubles with sleep the first few days there. I got up one morning crying and so upset that I wasn’t sleeping my mom said to sleep... Read more.
Hello Fatema,
Glad to hear that you are now home. I used essential oil, Lavender, to put on my hands. Helped to fall asleep, as I had to sleep on my back, which was tough. Lots of pillows really help, and I used an electric bed for the first while.... Read more.
