[|Human|] Laparoscopy three days ago. I understand the CO2 being trapped, however when I take a deep breath, I have severe pain in right lower rib area and chest area. I have to hold my ribs to cough and when I do I feel something like a popping in that area of the ribs.I feel as though I cannot get a full breath.
[|AI|]  Welcome to Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and understand your concern. It can be due to CO2 trapped under diaphragm. It will gradually resolve. You can take analgesic such ibuprofen for pain relief. You can further investigate it by flat plate abdomen and chest x-ray PA view. Furthermore, you can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you. Wishing you a good health. Take care.
