I had surgery on 6/20, since then have been havinig shortness of breath. Feels like I can't get enough air in and at times have chest pressure with tightness going into neck. It comes and goes, some days are worse then others. When I take deep breathes in I get dizzy.

Hello
Thanks for your query.
You must go for some baseline investigations like chest x-ray, ECG in 12 leads, spirometry with bronchodialator reversibility to evaluate your shortness of breath. It may also be due to depression. Better you should consult your GP to exclude underlying cardiological and pulmonary causes of sortness of breath.
Thank you.
