BAD BAD BAD CHEST PAINS

  • No I had my gallbladder removed years ago. I'm almost sure it was gas and I believe the tea, gas-x, Water and walking around helped it to move. And I'd like to Thank-You All. Sent from my SAMSUN

    Do you still have your gall bladder? I seriously thought I was having a heart attack when I was really just trying to pass a gall stone.

  • Sounds like trapped air (gas) I have found that I have to sit bolt upright to eat and never drink anything at the same time, always have to wait for about an hour before I can drink liquid. Sent fro

Don't hesitate to call your DR. It would be better SAFE THAN SORRY!!! Just to be safe!! Also, if it is gas you can ask your team if you can use PAPAYA ENZYMES. They are natural and have saved me so many times. They are AWESOME!!! You can buy them at Walmart for less than $5.00. They are in their Vitamin section

I'm on day 5 post sleeve and I'm experiencing the same chest pressure. I had to take of my bra off and walked around. It was definitely trapped gas.

My surgeon told me that my sleeve is located pretty much directly behind the lower part of my breastbone. Pressure in this area indicates that I'm full or over-full.

Not to be an alarmist but go get that checked out in the er. I have had 2 heart attacks and after surgery we are more at risk. Don't take chances.
