Deep brain surgery (DBS) dystonia

[Josh_l]

Hi,

Just have had a DBS surgery three months ago and yesterday , been having some pain on my chest and shortness of breath as it hurt when I try to take a deep breath what should I do ?

I hope you will call your doctor and let them know your symptoms. That seems like the thing to do. Good luck!

Telephone AND email (formalizing a succinct summary of your issue will serve as record of your contact and thus be less likely to land on Dr's 'back burner').

Dont muck around here. See a doctor now. Heart problems need checking. Do let us know how you get on.

Just been at the hospital Emergency for 8 hours after all the test done , it can out negative although the pain still there guess gotta find , meanwhile cope with it and take some pain relief for the pain.

Thank you all for all your support.😃

Thanks for letting us know. Glad your heart checked out clear at least that is reassuring even if the cause hasnt yet been found.

This sounds similar to both mine and my father in-laws experience, but he was back in hospital 2 days later with heart attack.

My experience : I went to emerg. with burning sensation in chest and difficult to breath, and when I got there I was fine. They told me to arrange for a stress test which I did. Failed test so they told me to come back in two days and do a different test. That night burning sensation in chest, difficult breathing, sweating went back to hospital, different doctor. within 24 hours I had 3 stints installed in an artery that was 87% blocked.

Did you do a stress test ? make an appointment with your family GP right away.

If you start to sweat, have pain or burning sensation in chest, feel like you cant breath go back to emerg.

2nd opinion?

Look up Printzmetal angina, it's a heart spasm. Wearing a Holter monitor might pick it up, its nothing to mess around with. Stay on those doctors and call 911 if you feel concerned.
