What Causes Tight Sensation In The Upper Body After Colonoscopy?
I had a colonoscopy yesterday. I had to be intubated because I asperated during procedure. However. I have a tightness (sorness) in my upper body front and back and have been coughing up brown plhem ( mucus) every so often. The pressure of the cough or sneeze or even getting up from sitting down can be a bother. What do you think it might be?
