<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I just underwent abdominal myomectomy for removal of fibroids 8 days ago. When I stand or sit I have shortness of breath and feel pressure right at the at point where my rib cage meets. When I lie down I feel fine. I have night sweats only at night and I read this could be because I am still eliminating the intravenous fluids Otherwise I feel fine. I feel no pain at my incision and I am not taking any pain medication.Thank you  <response>: Hi. I understand your concerns. There is nothing to worry. You are using painkiller and feeling no pain, but still incision and wound cant bear pressure of your abdominal contents when you stand up, thats why through in involuntary pathway your respiration becomes shallow and rapid.thats why you feel shortness of breath. Nights sweat is probably because of NSAIDspainkillers. These symptoms will fade away within few days. Wish you good health.
