PS removed 4 liters and I was under general anesthesia for 4 hrs. I went into the ER 2 days later because it was hard to breathe and I was feeling bad. Did test and lung X-ray and no clots. At 3 weeks I am still feeling weak and finding it hard to catch my breath after any type of activity. Is this just my body trying to heal and it's taking longer than unusual? I am 47 years old but was extremely active before surgery. Could it still be the affects of the anesthesia? I am getting concerned.
