Hi welcome to hcm
I understand your query and concern.
Your symptoms are suggestive of Acute MI in a case of post CABG.I advise you to get an ECG,2D Echo,lipid profile,hsCRP,Troponin-I immediately to confirm the diagnosis.Drugs like clopilet,ecosprin,atorvas,anti hypertensives should never be stopped until your doctor advises.I also advise you to get your blood pressure and heart rate monitored regularly.Weight reduction is most important in your case.Exercise regularly for 20 min.Diet rich in fruits,vegetables,oats,barley should be taken.Avoid smoking and alcohol.Consult your cardiologist and cardio thoracic surgeon for expert management.
Post your further queries if any,
Thank you.
