Air/Gas in my chest + vomiting
I'm a week post op from having the FOBI POUCH and I've been having severe pain in my chest when I go to eat or drink anything. I've been vomiting up clear liquid all day long and it has tiny bubbles. This is so painful. Please let me know if anyone has experienced this in the past. Dr. Jawad is sending me for x-rays in the morning. I'm so scared and don't know what to do. It hurts so bad when I go to drink or digest anything. It's a sharp pain when I swallow and then I fill like my chest expands with air. Never had a heart attack but that's what it feels like to me. Please help with any advice.
Thanks,
Yolanda

Yolie, I sorry for everything you are going through. I know I can't relate to your symptoms but I just wanted to let you know I will say a little prayer for you. Please keep us informed after you have your xrays. Did Dr. Jawad want to see you in his office? Did he give you any inkling as to what it may be?
Take care of yourself.

I had it too with bubbly foamy vomit and chest pain. My Dr said it I was esophageal spasms and kept me in the hospital 2 extra days on pain meds until it passed. After about 5 days post surgery I was fine with small sips of fluid.
I know how you feel and how painful it is but ti will pass. He sent me home with muscle relaxers for my esophagus and they really helped.

I'm starting to feel guilty for not having any problems ecxept having a headache in the hospital..I have heard the nurse say that the gas they put into you pressing on the inside trying to get out feels like one is having a heart attack..I hope you feel better soon

Just wanted to update everyone.... Well, I'm not sure what was going on yesterday, but today I'm feeling much better. I went to the hospital for x-rays and they all came out fine. I'm not feeling any pain so we'll just have to see how things go. Keep me lifted up in prayer and I really appreciate everyone responses and concern. Once again thank you all and God bless.
