   After Bypass - Hot Flashes (Heart Disorders board)

3rd January 2005
Quote from EASYMONEY:
I had quadruple bypass in August 2004. Since that time I have have been
having hot flashes and cold sweats. The sweats breaks out on my neck and all over my head. I feel cold all the time. The room temperature may be 70 but I am in my recliner covered with a blanket. I wake up in the middle of the night sweating. I am almost house bound because I am afraid to go out because I know I will be cold.

My primary care doctor and my heart specialist ordered blood tests that came back good. I did have a echocardiogram 2 weeks ago but the results are not back. I am also nauseated most of the time and have no appetite.
My feet feel cold to me all the time.

Both of my breast are swollen and very tender. My doctor said it was probably a reaction to my medicine and that the swelling would probably go away.

I take Klonopin, Synthroid, Nexium, Plavix, Lisinopril, Toprol, Ambien, Zocor.
When needed - usually in the morning and at night I take 1/2 a pill of hydrocodone. The hydrocodone seems to help a little.

Has anyone out there had these problems and what can I do? My doctors seems stumped.

i still have occasional symtoms as yours and can't figure why. after my atriial fib/flutter operation in may these symptoms appeared. i also have cold feet and am cold and hot on and off. also, my migraines returned. gee, i hadn't had hormones for years now. i am 64. i also had tiredness, weakness, fatigue and dizziness and was near fainting at times. these symptoms came after the operation too. i never fainted in my life before. after my last visit to my cardiologist, he took me off cardizem and coumadin and reduced my rhythmol. he no longer hears any fib or flutter in my heart. i am still on toprol xl and aspirin. you sure take alot of meds. all of this seems to be tapering off after reduction of meds. now i have the feeling that if your medical problems don't kill you, the meds will. just kidding! they seemed to give me pill after pill for awhile and it's hard to tell which is causing any of your symptoms. maybe we just gain stress that cause some of this.
