Is This Normal?

I had my surgery on Monday, and Im still feeling very tight in my chest, and when I drink liquids, I feel like there is a ton of air being pushed down, and I feel like I need to burb, but I can't. Im really freaked out by this...is it normal??..

I haven't been able to find any adult except liquid Tylenol. I just got the children's. I only take 20ml which is 400mg. It last a while. I actually for mine at the dollar store this time cause I didn't want to go to Walmart just for that. It was like 4 bucks. Hth

Thanx everyone...about how long did it take for your symptoms to go away?

I still have the symptoms and its been a week. It's mostly just when I wake up or after I drink anything with Protein in it. Not usually after Water.

Uhg the chest tightness I had mine a week ago today and thank god it just went away like two days ago I thought I had pneumonia ! I hope it gets better soon I was able to burp alot so I think that helped me!!
