A member asked:

My husband had shoulder surgery this morning. he has had heart burn all day and nothing he has tried relieves it. is this related to the anesthesia?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

He should be seen: Anytime you have symptoms similar to chest pain, particularly in the face of a stressor on the body, like surgery, it needs to be evaluated. Your husband needs to see a doctor.
