Discomfort while sleeping

[klm1648 19]

Hi guys,
I’m almost 3 weeks post op and when sleeping at night experience a pain or discomfort like something is expanding in my chest. It comes back and forth and sometimes is minor, but last night was more uncomfortable. I don’t know if it’s because my spouse sleeps with the air conditioner really cold, or I sleep with my mouth open but it keeps me waking up. Anyone else experience anything similar?

i have not experienced anything like that. Im 5 weeks out after the first week i was back to sleeping like normal. But i never experienced anything like that. I would call your doctor. You cant be too safe. Good luck!

You might want to call your surgeon and let them know what is going on and find out if this is normal or should you be concerned. Praying it isn't anything.

It actually sounds like reflux (which is common with the surgery), but I agree that you should leave a message with the surgeon's office!

probably acid reflux take nexium or if you can afford it do what i did have adjustable bed so my chest is always in a down position when i sleep so any reflux cant come up
