Hi @latishanavarrete and welcome to Connect. Have you recently had your gallbladder removed and are experiencing shortness of breath?
I can attest that after my surgery, I had shortness of breath and pain. I was advised by my physician to increase my incentive spirometer (the funky breathing device they give you) to break up the effects of the anesthesia in my lungs. He helped me to understand that anesthesia hinders your breathing and stifles the urge for your body to cough. Because of that, mucus can build up in the lungs and because the surgery is in your abdomen it could hurt to cough or breathe in deeply. Would love to know if you have a story to share.
