Dull to moderate pain under right breast when taking deep breathes after surgey

[hope2be 10]

I just woke up about an hour ago with pain under my right breast when I take deep breathes. I noticed it a little last night when I laid down too. Maybe I was lying down too much. Right now I'm up and feeling slightly better but not great. Could it be gas still or should I go to er. I feel better otherwise. Some relief when I walk around. Anyone experience this?

My surgery was Monday.

the sleeve is still healing maybe you slept in a wrong position or something. try to rest more. if pain persists better contact your doctor.

I had pretty much the exact symptoms you described. With the added concern from already having undergone a heart attack some years before, I was concerned and considering the ER as well. After some quick research and evaluating the specific location (not symptom of heart issue) and the coincidence of my recent surgery, I did in fact conclude it was most likely isolated gas from the surgery. it did disappear by the next day and I have had no further issues.

If yours doesn't, a visit to the ER might be advisable.

Thanks. I took some milk of magnesia after calling the on call doctor and he felt it was probably gas too and recommended that. It helped me other ways but I still have the pain but it's not as bad. I'm going to move more today.

This for the help.

If it's any piece of mind, signs and symptom of a leak would be pain in the left shoulder, not the right. I guess because the incision faces that way. I bet it's gas.
