[|Human|] Hello, I just had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, lost half of my blood supply and received a blood transfusion. Emergency surgery was performed and I am now home.  Ive been having very frequent heart palpitations every time I sit or lay down.  They make me cough and feel very uncomfortable.  I am slightly short of breath and have a fever of 100.8. Also my stool has become orange/yellow in color.  Im not sure if I should seek medical treatment immediately or wait until normal office hours as it is a Friday night.  I would greatly appreciate any help.  I am 36, and do not take any medications. Ive had palpitations here and there but never this frequent.Thank you for your help.
[|AI|]  Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion. Palpitation has to do with rhythm issues. It might be a sinus tachycardia meaning that the heart beats over 100 beats for minute. It might be an extrasistolic beat or other kind of arrhythmia. All of this cause palpitations, shortness of breath, anxiety sensation. Rhythm issues might have different causes like anemia, hyperthyroidism, electrolyte imbalances, cardiovascular disease, active infections or just stores. In your case, as you have lost blood you might have anemia causing this symbols or an active infection. So, if you experience palpitation once a while you can wait, they're not an emergency. But, if you feel irregular, chaotic heart beats and important shortness of breath than I will recommend you to seek medical treatment directly to emergency room. You might have an electrocardiogram there, have a fool blood analyze and a cardiac echo. After if this result normal you can take time to have a holder rhythm monitoring to see your rhythm tendency day and night. Hope I was helpful. Best regards, Chat Doctor.
