I doubt they're anything to do with your op, they look a lot like flea bites to me!

Ask doctor

as They're in a straight line more like bed bugs than flea bites

The first tell tale symptoms of bed bug bites are the multiple small, flat or raise welts on the skin that will always appear in a linear three in a row or clustered pattern because of the bed bugs tendency to feed on the same location more than once. Experts usually describe the three in a row bite marks as breakfast, lunch and dinner. The welts can turn red, flare up and become itchy. Scratching the bitten areas may also cause the welts to blister, have an infection or leave scars

Insect bites. Nothing to do with CABG

They do like some sort of bug bite, I have 5 cats and very occasionally get fleas, wonder I haven’t killed everyone with the amount of anti flea stuff I use. Anyhow, bugs/fleas whatever will bite one person and not another, I get bitten but my son doesn’t.
