Suggest treatment for chest discomfort after heart surgery
Patient: Hello. My dad had open heart surgery almost one yr ago. I feel that he may have overdone activity early on.He had to help move things out of my grandmothers house because she was put in a nursing facility 2 monthes after surgery.  he has since gone to the er and they said it was not his heart. Is it still possble to get chest discomfort from muscles one year after surgry? And when can you be fully recovered? I'm worried about my dad and when i talk to him about it, i can tell he's also scared. My dad is a 62 yr old that is an ex-smoker and is currently retired.Just letting you know alittle on his background! Doctor: Did they put graft during surgical procedure? did he had this kind of pain right after surgery? If so what medications was given? And yes pain can occur after 1 year if he has done strenuous activity. He has to be careful for this with this he has to cut down salt intake and limit his physical activities.
