Patient's question:
On March 18, 2013, an adrenal medullary tumor resection surgery was performed. After the surgery, while receiving intravenous fluids, the heart rate suddenly increased to 170 beats per minute, and heart rate control measures were then applied. March 29 marked the discharge date, but the heart rate remained unstable. Under medication, the heart rate was maintained between 80 and 100 beats per minute, accompanied by symptoms such as palpitations, chest tightness, anxiety, and other menopausal-like symptoms. Prior to the surgery, the patient already had sinus tachycardia, which worsened postoperatively.Doctor's answer:
Menopause generally occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55. Symptoms include facial skin flushing, unexplained fever, chest tightness, palpitations, headaches, dizziness, irritability, restlessness, insomnia, tinnitus, fatigue, memory loss, sensory abnormalities, decreased libido, and menstrual irregularities. This condition may require treatment with substances like oryzanol. Rest is important during this time.
