Left shoulder and chest pain

I don't really think I'm having a heart attack, but it feels like if I could have a big burp I'd feel so much better. I had my surgery 9/8. I don't think I'm taking in to many fluids. Does anyone have any advice.

well as long as u feel its not a heart attack. I had to use GAS X chewables the first days post op. SHOULDER pain like that also is a effect from anestegia...of course if ur very concerned phone the surgeon. JUST make ur ur geting some little walks in to help break up that gas! GOOD LUCK LISA

i had a couple of them in my shoulder but when I walked I burped and it went away! Good luck to you, remember walk walk walk...loll

Sounds like gas honey try some gas-x see if that helps

Hi Annette Congrats on your surgery! The only pain I really had was in my left shoulder after the surgery. And when they pulled the drain out the next week, that is where I felt the pull -- I've heard it from others as well, so it must be somewhat normal. Regarding the feeling of gas -- I might get yelled at here, but if I stick my fingers down my throat and there is anything to release, it usually will...

Hi I had my Surgery on 9/7 and for the first couple days my both shoulders were killing me. I found out its because in the OR they pull your arms back almost behind your head and it left both my shoulders in pain. Good luck to you. ' Louis

It is GAS. I had the same problem when I had my surgery (3/22/04) Two weeks ago I had to have my gallbladder removed and after the surgery again I had the shoulder pain. It is so painful, it does feel like a heart attack. Walk and take the Gas X as everyone else said. That will be a big help. Good Luck, and stay healthy! Gail
