Not breathing treatments, breathing exercises, done with a spirometer - to exercise the lungs to keep from getting pneumonia. You need to do deep breathing exercises at the very least. Also, your diaphragm has been agitated, even bruised and abused, so it very common to have some chest pain for the first couple of weeks after surgery, especially upon taking deep breaths, coughing, hiccuping, burping, etc. All these will cause the diaphragm to react. This too shall pass.. :)
