A member asked:
Why does drinking cold water make my chest feel weird after mastectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe esophagus: You may be having spasms of your esophagus induced by the cold liquid. That's not a serious problem, but can be painful. If it gets too bad, you may need to see a GI doc and have a test done for diagnosis. Just because it happened after mastectomy doesn't mean that is the cause. Best of luck!
