Pain after Bronchoscopy today

Just wondering if anyone who’s has this procedure has any pain afterwards.

I had this done at 3pm this afternoon and about half an hour after I started to notice some pain in my right back when breathing, nurse said it’s just the medication.

Every time I’m breathing in it hurts under my right ribs and back, this isn’t my usual pain I get with my lung issues, no biopsy was taken just fluid and muscus removes.

Many thanks

It is usually a good idea to call the doctor who performed the procedure if anything unexpected occurs. Do you have a phone number?

Don’t worry about bothering the doctor.

Dear Staceylouise, if you are in pain following a procedure, then in my experience, you should certainly seek medical advice. You should have been given a phone number to contact in case of any queries or difficulties. Do not fell that you are overreacting...better to be safe. Wishing you the very best and a swift recovery. With my best regards, Lily
