Tightness/golfball in throat & hearburn 4 days post op

[TerriDoodle 6]

I'm day 4 post-op. Starting last night I feel like I have a little heartburn or something. I thought maybe it was all the meds/vitamins/milk of magn I've been taking on an empty stomach that may be giving me the trouble. Any suggestions out there?

Also, woke up this morning with a new tightness in my chest...high like in the breastbone area, almost like there is something stuck in my esophagus. I'm sipping on some warm coffee now but it's not getting better yet. Can someone tell me what that is?

Thanks you guys. I know you've answered these same ol' questions a million times. I appreciate your time and patience.

Hi, Terry

I can only share my own experience and I am only 13 days post op. I had that chest tightness and indigestion for about a week post-op. I think mine was from the anesthesia (sp?). GasX helped a lot. It got better everyday. I've not had any golfball in the throat symptoms. I hope someone with more experience can help you.
