Hello, sorry to hear that. You have suffered multiple injuries. If all your problems were addressed then there is no reason you should feel shaky, nauseated or have increased heart rate. If you chronically consuming pain killers for your aches then you will feel nauseated. You should see a orthopaedician and check if all your fractures are healing. Do not get anxious which increases your heart rate, with time your problems should come down. Take care, get well soon.
