Hey guys,

I've got a question, Did anyone have any issues with shortness of breathe after surgery? it's been almost a month post-op, and it's definitely bothersome, I had Xray last week, when the shingles started the dr noticed i was struggling to breathe in the office (I was trying not to make it that obvious), I don't know if others have had it, it feels like i sort of panic if I cant' breathe for like 5-10 seconds. Dr. was concerned enough to personally drive to the closest clinic to do an emergency Xrays, Thankfully no pneuothorax (which he thought I had). I'm just curious if anyone has had this? how long did it last for? I saw my dr 2 days ago and he just said "It was a potential side effect, which a few patients have, it should resolve over time"... what is the definition of "time". I'd really like to know from actual patients who have had this.

please let me know!

Thanks,
Katie
