Nainai32065 20 Posted April 16, 2013 3 weeks tomorrow and taken a deep breath not all the time but some times any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richard Foor 655 Posted April 16, 2013 You should probably call your Dr. Where is the pain and what does it feel like. Some possibilities are a pneumonia having been caused by the intubation and progressively getting worse, or it could be just aches from where they cut or bruised the muscles in your abdomen being aggravated by change in pressure when you take a deep breath.

sknyinside 99 Posted April 16, 2013 Are you running any fever? And check your pulse rate. If you have access to getting your blood pressure checked, would do that too. But I agree, call your doctor even if vital signs are normal. Is the pain new or has it done this since surgery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nainai32065 20 Posted April 16, 2013 No fever. Pressure is good... been off and on for a few days but it almost feels like a pulled muscle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sknyinside 99 Posted April 16, 2013 I just read another thread where people 3, 4, 5 weeks out are having pains, maybe related to increased activity level? Would check in with the doctor, just to be safe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No game 14,437 Posted April 16, 2013 It's a common to have a pulled muscle sensation From the internal sutures healing at about this time frame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
