What Causes Bleeding From Belly Button With Heart Palpitation?

Hi I had a laparoscopy 2 weeks ago. The belly button incision started bleeding...a few drops but enough to coat it. Also there is a smell a bit like ear wax coming from my belly button. Is this an infection. There is no swelling or redness or raised temperature. I do however feel light headed and finding that when I breathe there isn t enough oxygen in the air as well as heart palpitation.

Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello ,
I understand your concern. I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern.

It look like there is no infection in the wound. But there is definitely a puncture in the wound contacting it with the abdomen. Because of this puncture respiratory problem is arising.

I advice you to visit the nearby clinic. They diagnose the puncture and seal the puncture so that you can take the breath easily.

Glad to answer your further concern. You can contact me on bit.ly/DrArun.
We wish you a best health at healthcare magic.
Thank you,
Dr. Arun Tank
