I'm 5 1/2 weeks post op and I'm wondering if the 'noise' or sensation I'm 'feeling' in my sternum is normal. I know that your sternum cracking and popping isn't good, so I don't think it is as extreme as that. I've got really bad allergies and I'm having to sniffle alot...so when I sniffle deep and quick, I feel this soft popping in my sternum. It doesn't hurt...just annoying. Also, if I move my arms up and down in a shaking motion (like when I make my daughters bottles and shake them up), I also feel the soft popping sensation in my chest. Is this normal? I mentioned it to my cardiologist and the surgeon's nurse at my 4 week check-up and they said that my sternum was secure and that it was probably the fact that my sternum is starting to grow back together. Does this sound right?
Just looking for any feedback...especially if anyone has experienced this sensation.
Thanks in advance!
