Hello,
The symptoms are completely normal after a laparoscopy.
They are related to the inhaled gas in the abdomen during the procedure.
These symptoms may last 3 or 4 days after the procedure and usually go away on its own.
If they continue for more than a week you can do a chest x ray for further evaluation.
Meanwhile, I suggest to use painkillers such as Acetominophen for the pain.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
