What Causes Chest Pain After Undergoing Cardiac Bypass Surgery?
I am a 57 year old female. One year ago I had cardiac bypass surgery and have exercised every day since the surgery. I have progressively felt better until I went to the physiotherapist who manipulated my back as it had been out of alignment because of the rib spreading during surgery. Since then I have had ongoing back pain but I have also noticed that I have an ache in my carotid arteries and a bit of a flopping occassionally in my chest.
My BP is 89/56 to 100/70's and heart rate 65. I had a bit of a bladder infection a couple weeks ago but it went away on it's own.
Should I be concerned about a bacterial infection. Carotid ache worrisome. Is this type of ache always cardiac related?

Hello, Welcome to Health CARE Magic Forum. No, with your history it seems to be noncardiac pain. if you are able to exercise with no incremental pain or the pain is with movement then it is non cardiac. Caroyids don't cause pain per se . it must be muscular. and yes you should be worried about the bacterial infection and consult a physician .
