Are Hot Flashes And Dizziness After Heart Surgery Common In A Diabetic Patient?
Hot flashes/cold episodes and dizziness after heart surgery? Patient is a diabetic, but experiencing feel of almost "jumping out of his skin", accompanied with the cold one minute, then hot one minute. Now added to these symptoms, he is feeling "sleepy". Tests have been run since the heart surgery over two weeks ago to rule out problems with the surgery -- nothing found. Could the pain meds be causing the problem?

Hi,
I would advise you to monitor carefully his blood sugar levels during the day. In the case of your patient it is more possible that his complaints are caused by blood sugar variations than from the surgery.
Wishing a good health to your patient
Come back if you have any further questions
