Six weeks later I began to very similar pains in my chest. I had a angiogram and one by pass on completely blocked and the put two stents in for the two blockages, the other by-pass was 50% blocked and they did nothing for it. For the last couple of days
I been having a stinging pain right where my heart is. It is not sereve pain but comes and goes.
When I had my heart attack and second episode. The paid was very sereve like someone hit me as hard as they could with a sledge hammer in the middle of my chest. Should be concerned with this type of pain, or does it just goes with the territory since I had open heart surgery less than six months ago. i do umpire baseball and was hit directly in the heart with a four ball last month. It did leave quit a bruise and was painful at the time but nothing since.

Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
My opinion is that you shouldn't worry to much and you should wait and see what happens.
If the pain is decreased or stay the same you shouldn't worry about it. It's only a musculo-skeletal pain (due to muscle trauma from sport) and it needs only NSAID such as advil.
If the pain increase it's intensity or it worsen with the passing of time, you should go immediately to ER for a quick evaluation.
Hope this was of help!
Wish you health!

Brief Answer:
You should go immediately to ER

Hi back,
In that case you should go immediately to ER, to exclude life threatening situations that are caused from the interaction between the two drugs. Cialis has a long half-life and its effect last through 24 hours.
