Dr Thompson is a vascular surgeon and is the director of the thoracic outlet for Barnes Jewish hospital in St Louis. He is an excellent dr for TOS surgery but he does not see the patients after surgery, his staff handles that area, until you are released to go home. That was about 8 days for me.
I don't have any heart issues so I can't comment on that question.

Did you check your pulse when you have your arms overhead like that? My arm and hand does that as well and I lose my radial pulse when in those positions. Stretching the pec minor is what should fix it, but in my case this throbbing throughout the whole area keeps making the muscles twitch and stay tight. When you do the pec minor stretches you can raise your shoulder to prevent the muscle from crushing the blood vessels. (assuming this is what your issue is)
Well I'm trying to get in to see Dr. T. Had my records sent and I'm waiting to hear back from them.
