Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you had bypass heart surgery, we need to rule out cardiac cause first for your chest pain.
So better to get done ecg, 2d echo and Angiography to rule out heart diseases.
If all these are normal, than no need to worry for heart related diseases.
Your chest pain is mostly due to musculoskeletal pain. So better to take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
Don't worry, you will be alright. But first rule out recurrence of cardiac disease.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
