Hello....
There is no connection between Open heart surgery with bladder.I think during your surgery, catheterization has been done that may cause burning sensation during urination due to Catheter induced urinary tract infection (CAUTI).
Persistent Dizziness after By pass surgery is a significant symptom. First of all go for ECG for any arrhythmia. That is most common cause of dizziness in heart patient. So my advise to consultant a Physician.
Thank You
