Question: I have a burning sensation in my right pectoral, which happens at night when I sleep on my right side. I had open heart surgery twenty years agod. Could it have anything to do with the incision or my breast plate?
Brief Answer:
It could be due to Musculoskeletal cause.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
As you have undergone Open heart surgery 20yrs back,incision might have healed.
So,the symptoms could be due to Musculoskeletal origin.It could due to the posture.
I prescribe skeletal muscle relaxant tablet containing Thiocolchicoside 4mg twice daily for 1 week to my patients with similar complaints.
You need not be concerned. Discuss about my views / treatment with your doctor. And I hope you will get better.
