I had right top lobe removed on Oct.4 and now home but my biggest complaint is chest pain that feels like heartburn or acid reflux did anyone else experience this?

    That's a question best asked

    That's a question best asked of your surgeon. I have heard of people with acid reflux post surgically. May just be nerve pain that will go away with time. Wishing you all the best.
