Chest Twinges after ASD closure?

Hello all! I am on day 4 after a ASD closure using the wonder of key hole surgery. I am doing fine aside from the fatigue of the general anaesthetic but I am experiencing some funny twinges in my heart. I guess that’s the organ getting used to the foreign device? Just wondered if anyone who has had the procedure has experienced anything similar? Thank you 🌸

Hello :-)

I see you posted about 4 weeks ago so even though I have not had this procedure I wondered if things have settled a little bit more now ?

I hope they have and you are keeping well :-) x
