Pat, I used to wake occassionly with pain and I always felt it was due to the position I slept in. Or some activity done during the previous day. Occasionally after cardio. Rehab my chest would hurt. I'm 6months out from AVR and I don't feel like I ever had surgery now.

Pat, my AVR was 31 days ago. Still have pain in chest especially in the pectoral muscles. Last night the pain suddenly went away. But by this afternoon, it was back. I have been sleeping mostly on my back since when I try either side the pain flares up! All we can do is grin & bear it - knowing it will pass! Happy you're doing well! Onward & Upward!

Pat, My AVR surgery was 15 months ago. From time to time I wake up with the same pain. Almost feels like a muscle pull to me and I do agree with Suzanne that it likely comes from sleeping. Mine goes away in about a week, but while it's there, it's annoying. My guess is that the chest ligaments and muscles get weakened from the surgery, causing this sort to happen.

Thanks for the prayers for Mrs. P. Right now things are not looking up for her. She will more than likely be going back to her family home and be admitted to hospice care. She has many other conditions that are not in her favor. Please continue praying with her. Thanks for your best wishes for my return to good health. This group is great! I don't get to read postings every day, I have a couple of Golden pups that are tennis ball starved! LOL! It is so good to be able to do physical things again and be able to breath! Peace to your day and enjoy the weekend, it is a perfect autumn day here in southeast Michigan---and it is my day off! What more to ask for! <3
