Brief Answer:
Don’t worry

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

After going through the medical details provided by you I can understand your concern for your health and well-being and I would like to tell you that don’t worry as these sensations does happen in some patients post surgery.

Until unless there is no chest heaviness or discomfort or any breathing difficulties there is nothing to be worried about.

Also if you are on Coumadin (warfarin) then you need to monitor your INR levels regularly by blood testing.

I hope this information will relieve your worries. Feel free to ask if you have any other doubts.

Kind Regards
Dr Bhanu Partap
