It will be difficult to answer your query on the basis of brief history.
It depends when he is getting chest pain/tightness on exertion or at rest or related to any activity.Should not happen after CABG..... sometimes there is blockage in minor vessels also which can also cause pain.Consult your cardiologist once.
Postural hypotension could be due to diabetes.
Tell him to wear tight stockings,and while standing up...stand gradually.
