Mood Swings, Sudden Passing Outs After Having Bypass Surgery. Possible Causes?

Hi, my aunt just had a bypass operation (on pump, without the hear-lung machine) 1 week ago. She has been irritated and off mood most of the time after the operation and this morning she suddenly fell unconscious. We have taken her to the emergency room and is still waiting for the doctors' findings. I know there must be a lot of possible reasons but i am really worried. Do you have any idea what might have gone wrong?

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

An arrhythmia (irregular rhythm) is most likely
A block or dissection in the graft or native vessel might have resulted in an attack.
The same disease could also affect the brain – Cerebro Vascular accident might have occurred...
Only examination and investigation can tell...

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
