Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The difficulty in breathing and need of incubation suggest respiratory spasm from various issues during the surgery.
Current body ache and cough are the part of post-intubation recovery phase with the underlying anxiety.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel
