I Had A Simple Mastectomy With Reconstruction On August 5th.
I had a simple mastectomy with reconstruction on August 5th. About three weeks out I started having occasional chest discomfort, at times a bit painful. The past week people have been asking me why I am out of breath or that I sound out of breath, but I haven't really noticed it. What I have noticed is my blood pressure has changed. From 120/62-80 to the last two readings this week of 110/74 and today 118/93. The systolic dropped about two weeks ago and the diastolic went up this past week. I am very tired yet and though I started picking up on energy, this past week I am nauseated a lot and even more tired. I have a family history of high blood pressure, heart and strokes on both sides of my family.
