I stopped having gas pains two weeks ago. Yesterday morning I started having chest pain on the left side. It hurts when I breath deep. I know they say to walk ... well I worked my butt off at the gym lastnight. No pain during the work out but once I got home it was back. And today I feel like someone is squeezing my heart. I take gas x too but man I feel like I can't function. Is it just gas or something more? I left a vm with the nurse and hope to hear back soon.

extreme chest pains needs to dealt with at the ER or the doctor...great job on calling the nurse....did you have hernia repair? i did and my chest hurt with deep breaths for about two weeks..if you are super concerned, and you feel its your heart, go to ER asap.

I talked to my lapband nurse and she thinks that I did too much too soon with my workout. I was pretty rigorous with my heart rate between 150 - 167. She said to relax and if its better by tomorrow then we know that's what it was but to go to the er if I start to struggle with breathing. My only concern Is that I did have leg pain after surgery and I thought they may have bruised me when I was moved to my recovery bed. But now I'm worried it was clots.
