Stomach Spasms/trouble breathing
So yesterday I came down with the stomach flu after my kids had it. I didn't vomit or even really have nausea but my stomach was bothering me. Then all of a sudden my stomach would do what I can best call a spasm and it would make it very difficult to breathe. I could only take very shallow breaths. I would turn very clammy and cold. It happened three times. I was home with just my two kiddos and finally was so scared I wouldn't be able to breathe I had my daughter call 911. I could barely get the words out.
I went to the ER they ran some blood tests and eventually sent me home. It never happened again after that. It was the scariest thing I have ever dealt with medically for myself. Has anyone had this? I am a year and a half or so out.
Yikes! I have no experience with this, but I just want to send good vibes your way! I hope you get some answers! Have you contacted your surgeon??

Not sure how the connection would be made but what you describe sounds a bit like difficulty with the diaphragm. When I was a kid sometime I'd get hit just right in the chest and it would trigger a similar breathing difficulty. I wonder if the spasm you experienced triggered a similar situation.
