Hi I am 2 .5 years post Ivor lewis and find myself short of breath especially after eating i am also having hot flushes despite being 67 and well past the menopause. I had a clear CT scan December last year and a clear chest x-ray this February. I would be interested to know if anyone experienced these symptoms?

check for emphysema
Thanks for your reply I have been diagnosed with mild COPD but this was under control until the Ivor Lewis.
You need to remember, your stomach is now in your chest. This reduces you lung capacity. After eating, your stomach is enlarged.
