Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!

I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could be related to different possible complications related to surgery: tamponade ( or intra - cardiac bleeding or fluid accumulation), pulmonary embolism, an electrolyte imbalance, blood acidosis, etc..

For this reason, I would recommend going to the nearest ER service for a physical exam and some tests:

- a resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound
- an arterial blood gas analysis
- complete blood count, PCR
- D- dimmer plasma levels
- blood electrolytes.

A chest angio CT scan may be needed.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!

Kind regards,

Dr.Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
