DO NOT STOP ANY MEDICINES See you Doctor or another Doctor for 2nd opinion FIRST. For information about medicines and other health concerns you can also go to Web MD online. I have found it to be a useful resource as well. I understand about taking meds but you did not go through the surgery to then put yourself at risk. Get professional advise from those responsible for your care. As much fun and good help you may get here in this forum I would strongly suggest you trust your Medical team instead.
Note: For further follow-up it is advisable to consult an emergency medicine specialist. Click here.
