chest pains after a bypass

[liverpool2020]

Hi, I've had a bypass surgery over 5 months ago and now whilst i'm walking briskly i tend to struggle with chest and throat pains as well as short of breath, this only happens if i walk briskly. All goes away after i take a breather for a minute or so. When i'm walking at a steady pace i have no issues. Any idea why or what it could be. My GP just increased the dosage of one of my medicine but in all in vain so far. Any advice would be useful please. Thanks

As it happens when you start pushing I would suggest you ask for an exercise ECG. I have never had an ECG but understand it should show if things are going awry as the load increases.

What medications were changed?

I'm in exactly the same position..had bypass on Dec 24th now like you I get discomfort when I exert myself..not as bad as pre surgery but not what I was expecting...

I had chest pains and tightnes after having 3 stents when walking in december but gradually it worn of after about 3 month the doc says it was probably stretch pains I previously had 2 stents fitted in 2011 and had no probs then as i went to work a week later but hope you get sorted out mate
