What Are The Chances Of Heart Attack After A Triple Bypass Surgery?

What are the symptoms of a heart attack? I had a triple bypass done on February 21st of this year. Today, I have lots of sweating, my jaw was in severe pain for 2 or 3 minutes, and when I sat in a chair at an office this afternoon, my heart was beating so hard it was moving the back of the chair.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your all symptoms are classical of angina or heart failure.
Jaw pain, sweating, palpitations etc are symptoms of heart attack (angina).
Since you recently had bypass surgery, possibility of blockage in new coronary arteries is more.
So better to consult cardiologist and get done
1. Blood pressure monitoring
2. Ecg
3. 2d echo
4. Stress test (trade mill test)
5. Coronary angiography (if required).
So don't wait at home, your symptoms are suggestive of heart attack and this needs immediate action.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
