What Could Cause Tightness In The Chest And Shortness Of Breath After A Meniscus Surgery?
I had a meniscus repair on Thursday. On Friday I had shortness or breath and tightness in my chest. This continued throughout the weekend until present time. I called my dr, and was told to go to the ER ASAP. I did on yesterday, and was released from the hospital today. They did a CT scan, chest x-ray, lung scan, eco 2 for my heart, leg scan and did not detect any clots. But I still have the tightness and shortness of breath. I really just don’t know what’s going on?

Hi,
It is good that you do not have any clots, so probably the problem is not related to surgery. Go to a chest physician for examination and he will start medicines to take care of your breath problems.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
