Worried For Swollen Feet And Chest Tightness After C-section

I am 27 - just had c-section Sat., released from hospital on Tuesday and have had swelling in feet and tightness in chest when lay down. Am nursing so taking in alot of water, but am voiding regularly every 2 hours. Should I be concerned of chest tightness - not comfortable laying down.

You may be suffering from bloating of stomach(gastritis) because of which you are feeling chest tightness. Further the antibiotics you are taking post operation causes gastric discomfort. But if you are not anaemic there is no reason for swelling of feet. So go to your doctor for thorough checkup. An ECG will clear your doubts.
