Posted on Wed, 8 Jun 2016
Question: I'm 27 I had a full hysterectomy 6 days ago. It's 2:38 am my body feels weird I'm sweating & feel like I'm burning up but my body's cold I have a tingle sensation all over but my body feels numb to the touch. I feel like I'm not getting enough air when I breath. I'm shaking I told my husband I feel like I'm dying he thinks I'm being over dramatic. I'm scared is this normal?

Brief Answer:
Might be hormonal side effects if ovaries were removed.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
It is not entirely normal, but yes, you might be having these hormonal side effects, if your ovaries were removed too.
You are just 27 after all.
Why was this hysterectomy done ?
Are the ovaries there ?
Relax, try and get some fresh air, take a sedative if required, and get some sleep.
IF symptoms get worse, or persist beyond a couple of hours, please get to the ER.
Try drinking a glass of cold water.
You would be fine.
All the best.
Please feel free to discuss further.

No mam ovaries were taken out to. Iv had problems with endometriosis and cysts. I had two surgeries to help it but it got worse and doctor said I needed a full hysterectomy.

Detailed Answer:
SInce ovaries were taken out, and you are quite young, you will have some hormonal side effects.
These are the ones you are experiencing right now.
They will get better with time, and after a few weeks, you can use hormonal replacement to help you.
Are you better now ?

Detailed Answer:
Okay, at that time you should have an internal exam and a sonography to know if there is any infection / bleeding inside at the surgical site.
Right now, just relax.
Take a painkiller and I am 90 % sure you will feel better.
