Go to ER now: The symptoms you describe sound very concerning. While this may be normal, after delivering a baby, the body experiences extreme physiologic changes, and it is hypercoagulable. It is critical to make sure that you haven’t developed A rare but very dangerous blood clot or pulmonary embolism.
