Is This Normal?

After I take a larger than usual sip, or a bite of pudding or yogurt, I experience a squeezing, cramping quality pain in my sleeve area. It lasts only seconds and is not accompanied by nausea or vomiting, but it does take my breath away.

Have any of you experienced this? I am three days post op. when does it stop?

I have a tight feeling and some pain in the breastbone area. My doc said its normal. It feels awful though. I am 3 days out too. Call your doc and see if its normal.

I am thinking since it is so brief, it is fine. Cold liquids tend to aggravate it.
