Hey Mississippi girl! I have experienced how i can only describe as a hiccup (short breath) every 5 minutes from my chest. But for sure its not normal hiccups that you feel in your stomach. I started experiencing it on day 5 through day 8. my doctor says to not drink hot or cold and see if that helps. It seems to have slowed way down but not sure if it helps to consume liquids at room temp or if it just time that im healing from surgery?
