I am a month post op (from my initial surgery, 3 weeks post op from leak repair) and just released two days from the hospital after treatment for meningitis, and since the meningitis I have such excessive sweating, but just my head/face and neck. Literally drenched like someone poured water on me, and it’s almost constant, even being indoors with A/C. I don’t understand and I’m slightly concerned.
I’m wondering if it’s because my is body working in overdrive to heal from surgery with my now weakened immune system, or if maybe the meningitis is trying to come back.
Or if this is just completely normal? I’ve never been one to really sweat- I get hot easily, but never sweat- but now I sweat like I’ve just done some serious hardcore exercising in the Florida heat.
Should I call my NS office? Or should I wait until my follow-up next week and if it hasn’t gotten better by then bring it up?
Any opinions would be appreciated.
Prehaps I’m just worrying too much with everything else thats gone wrong in this last month, but I guess it’s better to ask questions then to not.
Thank you for your time.
