Band Related?

I thought I posted this last night but can't find it.

Here is what has happened in the last year, 3 times after last night now I have been banded for over 2 years.

All of a sudden I feel like someone has their hands around my throat, kind of hard to explain, but my face turns beet red, and it's kinda hard to breathe. First time it happened I thought I was having some kind of allergic reaction. Please let me know if anyone else has had this happened. Thanks

When has this happened?  What were you doing at the time?

I personally recommend you start with your PCP now and go to the ER if it happens again.

First time was sitting down to Thanksgiving dinner, second time in the middle of the night, and last night, I had just bent over and put my infant grand baby in a swing, just after drinking some water, and hadn't eaten for 2 hours. Calling my doctor on Monday morning!

Glad to hear you are getting some medical attention.

While it's possible it is band related, it could also be a vascular condition or a stress issue.

Best wishes!

 I have no idea if it is band related, but IMO it certainly needs a doctor's opinion.

Wow, that explains why I couldn't find it on here, but I was getting emails about it. thank you again.

Are you okay ?  You never came back to tell us what happened, I was concerned that it might be heart related  ???
