For this past week I haven't been able to sleep or lay down. Whenever I lay down I get the most unbeariable pain in my chest,,I never had that problem before,,,Before I couldn't lay down because of the congested heart failure,,,couldn't breath,,during the day I get real short of breath, doesn't matter where or what I do When I'm done or get there I'm gasping for air. I've been taking my lasix, tried to call the doctor but he won't be back till monday,,could this be because I'm so nervous about my surgery coming up? (open heart) Or is this new problems arising?
