How Can I Self Help For High BP,shortness Of Breath & Shoulder Pain Post Gallbladder Followed By Collapsed Lung With Blood Clots?
I had gallbladder surgery Monday and ended up with a collapsed lung and blood clots to the lungs. I am on xaeltto and have been to er today and had another cat scan as I have had bad shoulder pain since last night and also had elevated bp. It is better now but I am a little short on breath and still have pain in my shoulder. My heart rate is high 104. I am not getting much help from er so what can I do for myself?
hi, Following GB surgery, some complications like collapsed basal segments of right lung and shoulder pain may rarely occur. Pain may increase your blood pressure and heart rate and collapse may be causing breathlessness. I suggest you to start beep breathing exercises which will help not only your breathlessness but also your blood pressure. cut your salt to less than 6 gms per day. Take an anxiolytic like alprazolam and pain drug like brufen for best response. all the best.
