Open chest ASD closure
Therefore I will be listed to have open
chest
surgery
to close my ASD defect. Does anybody have experience of having ASD defect closed via such an invasive procedure? Is the scar impacting in your quality of life?

Difficulty swallowing when lying down -sternum repair concerns
The dip at the bottom of my throat seems to be getting deeper and the pidgeon
chest
' appearance since
surgery
isn't improving. It feels like the clavicle is too high and bone is pressing upwards and inwards into the bottom of my throat and last night was frightening.

Tocilizumab and heartburn
I’m finally back on Tocilizumab after an ankle replacement, 2 bouts of C-diff, a
chest
infection and minor
surgery
for an ingrowing toenail. It’s been a bad 3 months and my RA has been flaring the whole time with little I could take other than paracetamol.

Suffering post surgery
I ended up back in urgent care after
surgery
due to brutal headaches and
chest
pain and have too many medicines, but I just want to hit fast forward six days when I have my followup with the surgeon to get the splints removed. Watching TV is painful. Audio books and books hurt.

3 weeks post CABG surgery
He is also experiencing some upper back/shoulder pain, whether from the
surgery
or
chest
infection I’m not sure. Is this also a common occurrence? Any tips to try and relieve this?

Waiting forever for Heart MRI
Apparently 3 month wait for an appointment before they decide if I need
surgery
. In the meantime I cannot do anything without
chest
pain, breathlessness and coughing. Has anyone else had to wait ages for treatment, when they have been told it is urgent?

Chest
Hospital, for open-heart
surgery
to replace my tricuspid valve with a bovine valve.

New, A Bit Scared, Would Appreciate Advice.
Last summer I developed awful
chest
pain, phoned my
surgery
who told me to go to A&E after waiting for hours having bloods, ECG etc, was told it was most likely indigestion 😒. So came home. The pain appeared to subside but then a few days later it came back.

Upper Airway Disorders
I’ve just gotten back from a weekend stay at hospital for my chest. It was a bit of a mixed bag to be honest with one doc wanting to send me home nearly straight away because “it’s all in your throat and you are panicking” to “yes so your chest X-ray showed some white shadows at the bottom of your lungs
