pain
I just wanted to know if someone has experienced this, sometimes i get this pain in my breastbone down to the area where my staples are it happens random times the pain hurts if I breath to, I wait till it goes away. Today I was drinking my protein shake and it happened so I stopped drinking it. It seems like sometimes burping helps but not sure what's going on. I'm 4 weeks out now so any advise would help.
If it hurts when you breathe, then I would see your doctor ASAP. If burping helps, maybe it's just gas or maybe it's too much stomach acid, but I would be concerned about a possible respiratory problem like pneumonia if it hurts when you breathe.
