Sore throat

If you had a general aneshetic, they intubated you (passed a tube down your throat to make sure that you can breathe). This often, if not universally, does cause some damage to the throat.  A sore throat for a short time is perfectly normal.  A week is a long time but "last week" is only three days ago.  If you did have a general anesthetic, I wouldn't worry about it.  If it doesn't go away in a few days, or if you didn't have a general, see your PSP.

I wasn’t intubated

Thank you for the information. It was only a couple of days ago but I wasn't intubated which I why I am confused. If they had stuck something in my throat then I could find an explanation for it.  I guess I'll call my doctor. Thanks again

been there

Hello

Yes, I had a sore throat after my surgery. I thought II was because of the cold temperture in the operation room. But I do think something happend to my my throat after. Like it is smaller now.  ( I also had a Local anestheasia)

I seem to choke and cough quite often aswell.

Just happened to me with my right heart catheterization!

They likely pressed against a nerve when running your wires as the vessels and nerves run next to each other.  I had the same expierience following a slightly complicated right heart catheterization and it started as a tightness almost like someone had tried to strangle me then advanced to hurting when I swallowed.  They gave me muscle relaxants and pain killers and it passed after about 3 days.  They also did an ultrasound of all my vessels in my neck to make sure there weren't any clots or bleeds.  I hope your situation was like mine and resolves quickly.  I do recommend asking for a muscle relaxer if it feels tight, that seemed to help the most.
