I went in for revision yesterday, and they kept me over night because I had a huge hiatal hernia, and they were scared of a pneunothorax...I stayed and everything was ok during the night..But I have the horrible gas pain, and trying to walk it out. Has anyone had chest pain after surgery due to the gas? I am 24, and healthy but I have a million thoughts goin on in my head! Help... lol
I'm 26 healthy and had a bad recovery. i had to be admitted two weeks after surgery at my checkup appointment too. my oxygen level was 85 too low for them to let me leave. i even went to er room 1 week after surgery b/c of upper chest pains so bad everyone thought i was having a heart attack. they feared i had blood clot. everything was ok however i hadnt been breathing properly b.c it hurt. so my left lung wasn;t getn proper air. my primary doctor informed me it was some sort of spasms which feel like a heart attack. He syas its rare but can happen b.c my body didnt like having this forein object inside of me.well it took me till 5 weeks after surgery to feel better. goodluck.
