I have the Lapband, as I was getting tightened 2 days ago I had too drink some water. The band was so tight the water didn't go down right away and it came back up as I was laying down like I was choking. Since then I have a bad chest pain and shortness of breath I have never felt this before do I maybe have water in my Lungs. Thank You

Hello!You seem to have respiratory tract infection. I would suggest you take a course of Tab. Amoxyclav for 10-14 days . You can take tab. PCM if you have high fever spiked anytime. Also get a Chest X ray done to see how severe your chest infection is. Before you start antibiotics it is advisable to get your sputum tested for gram stain and culture sensitivity and Acid Fast Bacilli. These tests give an idea as to what organism has caused the infection and what antibiotic will work against it and cure the infection. This result will be a good guide with regards to the right choice of antibiotic for you.Hope this helps. Do drop your valuable feedback .
