How can I deal with the claustrophobic feeling after breast augmentation?

Asked By:Springtime2018 in Crested Butte, CO

I keep reading about chest tightness after surgery. Is this like constriction that swelling causes and does it include feeling like your lungs are getting squeezed? I have surgery in 2 days, and I woke up a bit panicky last night night thinking about my beast augmentation causing me clausophobic feelings around my chest. Thanks for any input and clarification.
