Laryngeal nerve: After thyroid surgery, a complication of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury can cause shortness of breath, orcan be related to the thyroid hormone release.

pain, side effect: Chills and shivering occur after anesthesia because the anesthetics impair the normal temperature regulation in the brain. This resolves after a short time in the recovery room. Increased heart rate and BP in a young healthy patient are most often secondary to post op pain and improve with adequate pain control. Oxygen is usually administered in the recovery room as anesthetics impair respiration.
