I had my gallbladder removed on 10/3 and I am going for my post op visit 10/15. I have been experiencing tightness/ some what sharp in my chest, sensitive to the touch (lt side mostly) and hurts to cough which I had started since the day out of surgery. should I be concerned? or is just part of the recovery period? or trapped air in my chest cavity? ( I do burp often)
Howell come to ChatDoctorThis may not be due to surgery, but certain condition are there and that could be the reasons of tight chest feeling, one is hyperacidity and second allergic condition may be some mild infection, and this can be given try with following medicines,1) Tab Omeprazole 40 mg once in day 2) Tab Levocetrizine 10 mg once in day watch for fever, else this is nothing to worry, take care and have a nice day.
