What Causes Difficulty In Breathing And Rib Pain Post Gall Bladder Surgery?

I recently had gallbladder surgery. I have difficulty taking a deep breath without severe pain at my right rib cage area. Touching the area inmy right ribcage hurts, just to touch. It also hurts right above the right hip. Difficulty sleeping at night, I have to lay in a certain position just to get some rest. I also have burning between shoulder blades. Hopefully you can help me with this.Thank you,Theresa Brueggeman YYYY@YYYY

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if these symptoms comes immediately or after the week of surgery then it could be post-operative complication and if this is not the case then it may be due to some poor posture may be in sleep still condition need to be investigated for anything else and that could be late surgical complication, till then you can try "Tab Omeprazole 40 mg Domperidone 30 mg" once in day, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
