When should i be able to take deep breaths without pain? (post-op)

Hi All

I am on day three post-op and have been taking lots of deep breaths to clear out the old lungs...I'm wondering when it will stop hurting and being such an effort? I am paranoid I have a collapsed lung or something..lol.

    I am the same pain. It was alot worse yesterday (day 3 post op) but has gotten a little better today. I did call the doctor and he didn't seem to be concerned which helped me to not panic. I continue walking and doing the breathing exercises and hope it completely goes away soon. Best wishes!!
