I had knee surgery on the 13th of this month. I was doing fine until a few days ago. I get the feeling I can't catch my breath. I have to take a lot of deep breaths. This happens when I am awak and also it wakes me up several times a night. Could I have fluid in my lungs or on my heart from the surgery? Or is it all mental. My chest feels heavy when this happens
