Yes my 65 yr  old husband had a cancerous lung removed and developed numbness in legs after surgery.  After MRI revealed a blood clot in spinal area, he was taken to surgery again. Second surgery was 24 hrs ago, now he is sweating  and has a headache  that is  a 9 out of 10.  What could this be coming from?
Hi, thank you for asking Chat Doctor. With this presentation, if sweating and headache are without a fever, then these symptoms are in favor of low blood pressure (getting to shock). If these symptoms are associated with shortness of breath, chest pain, cough with blood-streaked sputum, then it could be as a result of a blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism). However, if there is fever, then it could be from an infectious origin (sepsis). All these conditions need immediate management. I hope that answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. We will be delighted to answer more questions from you. I wish you good health
