Anyone Have Chest Issues After Surgery?

[Guest guest]

Last Wends. the 31st I had the gallbladder out. SInce then my

esophagus (sp?) sternum, entire ribcage and lungs have been in pain.

When I take gulps of water it feel like they get stuck, I am unable

to take in a full breath and I can't even have a bra touching my

chest.

Has anyone had such complications? I had a chest xray today and was

put on antibiotics, but it's unnerving.

Thanks Karyn, that is reassuring to know you experienced this too.

> That's how I felt. I was told it was not uncommon. I had lots of

inflamtion in 'the region'. I have thickening of the distal espogus as

well....no bras, no gulps, only sips, and controlled breathing. I go

lots of yoga breathing and am very self aware, it helps.
