What Causes Chest Pain Radiating To Breasts With History Of Triple Bypass?
Last year on August 29, 2013 I had a triple bypass. Went home 9 days later feeling pretty good. 3 weeks after that was readmitted to the hospital with a severe stapf infection in my chest. I was iin again for a week. Went home with a would vac and 6 antibiotic pills a day. Home health nurse came out 3 times a week to clean it out and check on me. I am now 11 months out from my surgery and around 4pm I get quite a bit of pain in my chest which radiates out to my breasts. I am pain free during the day. Why and what is causing this/

Hi welome to HCM
The pain in your case could be due to underlying infection.Take tab pantocid and tab.ultracet immediately if pain still persists aftr halfan hour get an ECG.Daily dressing will be helpful.continue with your antibiotics,ointment..maintain hygeine.keep the area dry to avoid further infection.Continue with Anti platelet drugs.if infection doesnt subside go for culture sensitivity..consult your doctor for expert management.
Thankyou
