Sleeved Wednesday...questions

[rear624 16]

The pain I have been experiencing is in the center of my chest, right between my breasts.I am trying to sip Water but it feels like battery acid once I get it down to that area of my chest. Is this normal? About when can I see some relief with this?

It's gas what helps is walking and taking deep breathes. I was sleeved on Tuesday.

yes.

if you lay down do not lie flat - prop the head of your bed up a couple of inches - even at night.

walk. walk. walk.

Thank you...I just did laps around my house and that DID relieve the discomfort! Thank you sleeve friends!

Oh yes. I was sleeved on the 17th and spent the first 3 days sleeping in an elevated position. It's really amazing how walking helps alleviate the gas and that little breathing contraption they have you use.

its easier to elevate the headboard than just your body esp if you sleep on your side. I hugged a pillow to lay back on the bed. I did recovery in a 25' RV because I was waiting for the completion of my modular home. getting up was awkward but laying back was more painful. Hubby would lay me back or I would lay to my side then roll to my back

Yep, had the same thing from the gas. They warned me at the hospital I'd feel it in my chest so I didn't panic. I couldn't get mine to go away until I started walking. The nurse at the hospital told me to lie on my left side... not sure why, but it helped.
