Today I had to go back to the hospital, thought I was DYING, I was told it was blood clots in my lungs, Made me think I was having a darn heart attack. afterwards I was told intergestion was a facter with the chest pain also. Anyone Heard of this? Help, this is scary as heck... Kathy

Sorry your haveing a hard time... Are you sure as to the diagnosis... if you look at your discharge papers they should have a diagnosis on them... A blood clot in the lung is very life threatening... and the 'intergestion'... I have never heard of it.. I will say a few words to the GODs for you.... I hope you get better soon... I dont like to see anyone else in the amount of pain I am in.... Paige 375/-32/175

Blood clots in the lungs are very, very serious. I would be SHOCKED if they sent you home with such a condition....absolutely SHOCKED. I spoke with one person who had clots in the lungs at 3 weeks post-op and she was in ICU until the condition cleared. Look at your discharge papers to see what your diagnosis is. I could be that they did some testing to rule out blood clots in your lungs. If the clots were ruled out, the docs may have discovered Indigestion or Heartburn as the cause of your pain. Indigestion could cause chest pain. Heartburn/High acid content in the stomach can cause chest pain that feels like a heart attack. Are you on any type of stomach acid reducer, such as Prevacid, Nexium or Prilosec? What are your discharge instructions? Hope you feel better soon. ((hugs)) Pam
