This seems similar to your earlier concern. As mentioned, these symptoms are most likely due to anxiety or temporary nerve sensitivity and are usually not serious.
Ensure regular meals, hydration, and proper sleep.
If symptoms are still continuing, it’s better to get evaluated in detail. You can book a consultation for proper assessment and guidance.

"It is quite common to experience sensory fluctuations and neurological sensations like 'cold waves' or burning (Paresthesia) following a major surgery such as a Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Your body is currently in a metabolic and physiological transition phase after the removal of the gallbladder. Since these sensations flared up during your menstrual cycle, it is highly likely that hormonal shifts temporarily lowered your sensory threshold, making normal recovery-related nerve signals feel like intense waves or burning. The fact that the anxiety and coldness resolve within 5 minutes suggests these are transient episodes and not indicative of any surgical complication."
Next Steps
"1. Post-Surgical Nerve Sensitivity: During a laparoscopic procedure, the gas used to inflate the abdomen can sometimes cause irritation to nerves that can manifest as tingling or temperature sensations in the limbs for several weeks.
2. Hormonal Influence: Estrogen and Progesterone drops during periods can intensify the perception of pain and temperature, which explains why the symptoms persisted even after the period cramps resolved.
3. Anxiety-Sensory Loop: Anxiety causes a sudden release of adrenaline, which can lead to peripheral vasoconstriction (making hands and feet cold) and a heightened focus on bodily sensations, creating a cycle of 'waves' and worry."
Health Tips
Do not panic when a wave occurs; it is a temporary physiological signal that usually settles as the nerves stabilize post-surgery. For a detailed clinical evaluation, personalized medicine prescription, and direct follow-up, you can consult me directly through my profile."
