After effects of a laparoscopy?

Question

I am having really bad chest pains, and slight shortness of breath and a pain down my arm...im only 20 and had the laparoscopy yesterday.

Is this normal?

Answer 1

For the first 48 hours after the op you will feel chest pains etc, as in the op they fill you up with air in order to see properly. It's totally normal as I had the same after mine. It's just some trapper air I think, but it will clear within a day or two.

Answer 2

This is normal and should pass in the next 24 hours; anything longer, give your health care practitioner a call.

Answer 3

don't get into a panic it is the after affect of the anersetict it will be ok after a couple of days
