Hi, the breathlessness after a heart bypass surgery can be caused by several factors that we identify to be able to suggest a specific treatment for this problem.

The main causes that should be investigated are:
1- Lung diseases such as asthma triggered by physical exertion or the use of cardiovascular medications such as beta-blockers; pulmonary fibrosis triggered by use of medications such as amiodarone; sequelae of previous pneumonias; emphysema and chronic bronchitis related to use current or previous smoking.
2- Heart problems as incomplete myocardial revascularization; as a cardiac dysfunction caused by previous myocardial infarction or during surgery; as arrhythmias caused by physical exertion.

Identified the cause of dyspnea can be guided and an appropriate treatment for resolving the problem.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help you. Wish you good health.
