anxiety after surgery

hi, everyone, had surgery yesterday. And since about 4am my body has feeling really hot and cold at the same time . But my temperature is 36 degrees. So is this just my body healing. Or because I struggle with health anxiety could that be mimicking symptoms cos I’m thinking into it a lot.

Just wanted to see if anyone can give me information or relate to this after surgery.

Many thanks 😊

Were you under general anaesthetic? It took weeks for my temperature control to come back after open heart surgery. (Though they do cool your blood in the bypass machine, so it might have been due to that too.)
