Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hi, the symptoms you describe is commonly seen post bypass surgery. It generally resolve near completely with time. How much time would vary on each individual. As the sternum is opened up for bypass surgery and during the surgery as many small twigs of nerves are cut while opening up the chest wall and harvesting grafts, you will have the chest pain till the sternal bone would heal and the numbness should decrease over time. Till than you may take symptomatic treatment as per your local doctor and continue with cardiac rehabilitation.
