discomfort

does anyone know if this is normal. I have slight discomfort and shortness of breath when I laugh. it bothers me so much that I have to stop laughing. Also I have had really bad stomach aches usually just before my menstrual cycle. does anyone else have these problems? so I be concerned?

I think you really need to discuss this with your surgeon or PCP. It might be no big deal but better to check on it than ignore a possible problem. The shortness of breath would really concern me because that could be a sign of heart problems. Best of luck and best wishes that you find this is nothing to worry about.
