SHORTNESS OF BREATH!



Recommended Posts

I have been experiencing shortness of breath!! I'm having surgery on Tuesday and I'm just afraid they will cancel if I have been experiencing shortness of breath! I don't know if it's Anxiety or if it's something else??? Any suggestions!!!

Shortness of breath is sometimes an indication that you may be having a heart problem. I would suggest you discuss this with your surgical team.

Hi thanks for the feedback!! I do take my blood pressure meds everyday but I do have bad allergies and I get sinus infections often! I also have anxiety attacks! They checked my heart in October and I was fine. So I hope it goes away soon, but I will let them know on surgery date!l if it doesn't go away!

Don't play games with your heart. "Surgery date" is only two days away and you say you're experiencing shortness of breath today.* Talk about it with your team in any case. If the surgeon determines that postponement is wise, it is.

* Do yourself a favor and don't quibble with me over several hours or days. I'm here with your well-being in mind. You're the one who introduced the topic, therefore, you're the one who is concerned.

Thank you for your response! Like they say if you have nothing positive to say don't say it! I went to they hospital today at night and they checked the lungs,heart, and blood work and everything is fine!! Dr said it's most likely anxiety!!! But thanks for the response!!!

You think I said something not positive? As you choose. At any rate, you were wise to get checked out. Good luck going forward.

Yea dr said it is stress and anxiety!!! Which I do have a lot of anxiety attacks!! And since I am unable to take any anti inflammatory NSAIDs I will be feeling like this until surgery!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
