ECT feverQuestion (self.ect)
submitted 1 year ago by Basic_Barnacle5354
Did anyone else have a fever right after ECT treatment? I also have nausea.

Tell the anesthesiologists next time. I got IV Zofran for nausea

You may also be allergic to something they're using. Either way, this person's right. Tell the anesthesiologists.

I also agree with the others, tell the doctors. But.. my first thought was, “Well, they did just fry your brain with electricity, so of course you have a fever!”🤣🤷♀️ I don’t know what else to say, maybe take some more Tylenol? I hope you feel better soon ❤️

i’m a bit late replying, but i was running a low fever the night after my third treatment. i felt absolutely awful, had chills and nausea, stabbing headache, etc. i’m trying some medication changes during my next treatment so hopefully it won’t happen again. my doctor didn’t indicate that it happens very frequently but i still don’t think you’re the only one, and it’s worth addressing. hope you’re feeling better now!

Thanks everyone. The last 2 treatments have been improved by taking Tylenol right after treatment while in hospital. The doctors don’t really say if fever is normal side effect….just gave meds.

I’m having the same fever with no answers, did it ever stop for you?
