    Hi Patricia, my surgeon told me it was normal to feel the pressure in your chest area after surgery. As far as the lightheadedness, I'm not sure about that. I would call your surgeon in the morning just to be sure.

    Yep, chest pressure and left shoulder pain is normal. Lightheaded, not sure why. I was lightheaded as well, but decided it was becasue I was dehydrated. Are you getting enough fluids?
