Extreme nausea, headache after dental implant surgery?!
Question: I'm taking care of someone who had a dental implant surgery yesterday and has had a few before this.
After the past surgeries, she had virtually no problems and was back to herself within the day. This time, though, she's not in great shape. She's been sleeping since yesterday afternoon and starting vomiting last night - we got up appx. 6-7 times. She's also had a headache since shortly after surgery. She's afraid to eat or take her pills at this point, and I'm trying to keep her hydrated.
Has anyone else had this experience? (I spoke with a friend who is a doctor, but I'd just like other input or to know if this happened to you what was the reason, etc.)

Oh, honey, that's awful! I just had dental implant surgery on Thursday and I've felt really good until today (I kind of over did it yesterday, talking and running errands, but I'm not terrible). I suggest you call her dentist immediately. She may need to go to the ER.
Good luck!
it sounds terrible, definitely call the dentist
