Indigestion after lobectomy

Sorry but can't help with this one as haven't had the symptoms you describe. Could be the medication you're on on, if any, but it might be worthwhile speaking to your CSN or hospital contact if you were given one. Hope it settles down soon and your good recovery continues.

Managed to alleviate the indigestion but now I’ve got breath catching, every so often I have to catch my breath and feel a little breathless. I have been using my spirometer and making progress.

however, my side is now feeling very tight so I’m wondering if I’m breathing a little shallower than I should be.

i do suffer health anxiety so probably this are all just normal niggles after surgery.

got a call from hospital on monday so I’ll mention then. 

My husband was burping and hiccuping quite a lot after his op, not so much now 4 mths on.  Maybe there's still a lot of air that has to escape.   He still gets breathless at times.  I hope your hospital consultation has put your mind at rest.

Yes it did, feeling a bit fragile at the moment, family stuff, and so going to get some counselling. I do get a nervous stomach when I’m stressed. 

I’m glad your consultation helped.   Having cancer is scary and stressful in itself without being made worse by other worries so I hope that you’ll also find a counselling session helpful and wish you a good recovery from your op..   

I had same problem  it lasted  3months after  having  part of my lung removed   but I found a video  on YouTube that helped  a lot   just put in nose breathing   and it will  come up it took me  a bit to get it right  I think  I was hyperventilating    but it did help  I still get breathless but nowhere  near as muscle  it  stopped my  problem  pretty well stick at  and  hope you  feel better soon   all my best   roy
