Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Shortness Of Breath And Tachycardia After Thoracic Outlet Surgery?
After thoracic outlet surgery I m have shortness of breath, high heart rate, and a chest ex ray that ER misses but urgent care doc saw it Demonstrating a density in the right upper lobe of lung. Bed ridden and no appetite. Coughing up flem and blood?? Severe chest pain right side
The shortness of breath, tachycardia with x-ray suggestive of density upper lobe of lung after thoracic outlet surgery reveals the pneumonic consolidation of infective origin, hematoma, pulmonary embolism or others. The precise diagnosis would be requiring an X-ray chest on initial basis followed by CT scan with or without contrast as per the clinical evaluation and X-ray findings.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
