I had an appendectomy almost 3 weeks ago and now i'm having diarrhea. i have also been having trouble with a racing heart beat.

Call your surgeon: Diarrhea after any abdominal operation can result from many reasons, medication side effects, residual infection in abdominal cavity (abscess, leak etc), secondary infections like CDiff and more. Racing heart beat can result from pain, anxiety, infection ( leak, abscess etc), dehydration, electrolyte abnormalities etc amongst others. Combination of two is worrisome.Talk to your surgeon ASAP.
