Has anyone experienced face ,neck  and chest ,flushing after lobectomy. I didn’t need any radiation chemo therapy.

Thank you

Ho Jim and welcome.

I had a lobectomy in November 2016. I've never experienced the flushing you describe. Are you taking any supplements containing niacin? It can cause flushing like that.

Best wishes,

Yeah, I've never heard of flushing related to lobectomy--certainly not three years later. 

I'd start with your primary care doc for something like this. Could be an allergy or something.

Thank you for responding , I have discussed my flushing with g.p., gastro, and endo dr. All kinds of bloodwork came back normal. I am having gastric issues along with the flushing ,especially face , neck and chest. At this point i believe some nerves got damaged during the lobectomy. I had hiccups for two weeks straight right after the surgery and started to be heat intolerant right after as well. I was hoping someone else might have had a similar experience. I have an appointment with an autonomic neurologist mid August.  Hopefully i can get some answers there.  Thank You

Good luck--check back in with us and let us know any new info. It might be helpful to someone else--I wasn't even thinking about nerve damage but I suppose that's a possibility.
