Missbeauty16 51 Posted November 20, 2016 I have been experiencing shortness of breath!! I'm having surgery on Tuesday and I'm just afraid they will cancel if I have been experiencing shortness of breath! I don't know if it's Anxiety or if it's something else??? Any suggestions!!!

Hi thanks for the feedback!! I do take my blood pressure meds everyday but I do have bad allergies and I get sinus infections often! I also have anxiety attacks! They checked my heart in October and I was fine. So I hope it goes away soon, but I will let them know on surgery date!l if it doesn't go away!

"Surgery date" is only two days away and you say you're experiencing shortness of breath today.* Talk about it with your team in any case. If the surgeon determines that postponement is wise, it is. * Do yourself a favor and don't quibble with me over several hours or days. I'm here with your well-being in mind. You're the one who introduced the topic, therefore, you're the one who is concerned. Edited November 20, 2016 by WLSResources/ClothingExch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I went to they hospital today at night and they checked the lungs,heart, and blood work and everything is fine!! Dr said it's most likely anxiety!!! But thanks for the response!!!

WLSResources/ClothingExch 3,444 Posted November 21, 2016 You think I said something not positive? As you choose. At any rate, you were wise to get checked out. Good luck going forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea dr said it is stress and anxiety!!! Which I do have a lot of anxiety attacks!! And since I am unable to take any anti inflammatory NSAIDs I will be feeling like this until surgery!!
