Shortness Of Breath, High BP, Numbness In Fingers, Chest Tightness After Bypass Surgery. Normal?
Hi friend, Welcome to Health Care Magic This is not normal after surgery. You have to see your cardiologist again - to exclude arrhythmia / heart failure / progression of disease or block of the stent and so on... You may also have to see a Pulmonologist - chronic bronchitis / asthma / COPD from past smoking You may need some investigations for proper assessment and assistance Take care Wishing speedy recovery God bless Good luck
