Experiences with

Chest surgery

Is it common to experience chest pains after surgery carnt get any sense from anyone and not on good terms with hospital staff

I just wondered if anybody else had experienced this out of the blue after heart surgery, I didn’t have any chest pain before the surgery so it’s strange and a bit scary!

The good part is that the area on my chest still has no feeling following the surgery.

Just a timeline of one reasonably healthy 60-year-old following double-valve surgery.

Just an update about my Mitral Valve repair surgery I had on 21st June .Surgery went well but the Bronchitis chest infection I had been fighting for 3 weeks prior to Surgery reared it's ugly head again due to being on the ventilator. I'm now completely resting at home.

I have been sent home on medication management and if I experience chest pains still then it will be surgery/ single bypass. I am still experiencing chest pains, use my spray and can then carry on. But really is the new norm? Don’t feel as I am living a “ full”life and everything is on hold!

My GP said next steps are to have antibiotics as I also have an infection in R lung and for me to book an appointment with the respiratory nurse at the surgery. She wants to run the chest x-ray again in 6 weeks.

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.

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?

I had a CT Chest, Abdo and Pelvis to stage before my surgery. My Abdo and Pelvis came back with no evidence of metastasis. My Chest one came back finding two (2mm and 5mm) nodules in my lung as well as some opacities (which I had before).

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.

Just wondering of anyone else has been prescribed GTN spray for chest pain with AFib/Arrhythmias. Called my surgery as the Amiodarone dose [100mg] daily is 'wearing off' - sometimes late afternoon and into evening.

So yesterday got home to a letter from Neurovascular who had seen my scans for GCA and apparently now I have a small aneurysm in one of the arteries in my head but they are leaving it alone since the risk of intervention is higher than the risk of a bleed - anyone else have one ? I have a chest X-ray

I got numerous painful areas (like burning pain) on my scalp and neck 4 months ago. Also developed migraine headache and pretty well a constant headache every day since. Ended up almost bed ridden for 6 weeks with fatigue, extreme tiredness and arthralgias in most joints. Biopsy of scalp area showed

Following my recent post just a quick update. So I'm still in hospital with no positive reason identified as to why my bilirubin level had shot up so high or why it is now receding. I am having blood tests every day and had a chest x-ray Monday and hopefully a liver ultrasound today. Saturday morning

Haven't posted here for some time as everything seemed to be going reasonably well after my SCT back in February. Today I got a call to come into hospital as an inpatient as there was something concerning with yesterday's blood tests. It turns out my bilirubin level has shot up to 75 and the doctors

All ended well, but a salutary tale neatherless, my fault despite the circumstances. Up to 3 weeks ago I was doing amazing, then I came down with what I thought was a simple chest infection, on the the day i had had enough of not getting better and decided it was time to do something about it. As I

Hi everyone I was diagnosed in Sept with Lupus sle and have still not had my hydrixychloriquine. I believe it is now with the dr and I’m waiting for him to prescribe it.
