My husband recently had heart bypass but still does not have his strength returning and still has chest discomfort. He had another heart cath Tuesday that showed his heart was healing well and no new blockages He has had dizziness and shortness if breath when active. He was given a MOG test, a ultrasound on his heart with contrast, and chest X-rays to look for blood clots. What did the MOG test look for ?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of chest discomfort along with dizziness and shortness of breath and you already gone through tests related to cardiac problems ,which didn't shows any signs of blockage. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like COPD symptoms , acute bronchitis , acid reflux , asthmatic condition , sleeping apnea or upper respiratory infection. For now eat light at night , take benadryl twice a day and keep your head elevated while lying down. Avoid intake of outside food. Avoid cold, carbonated beverages. I would suggest you to consult pulmonologist for proper examination. Doctor may order chest x-ray, blood test and check vitals along with vitals. Doctor may also refer you to ENT specialist for upper respiratory tract infection or post nasal drip or allergy specialist for asthma.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
