What Causes Heavy Sensation In The Upper Abdomen?

I had open heart surgery in may 2017. I have weak moments with sweating at times which lasts for a few minutes. Is this normal during my recovery process? Also I have a feeling of heaviness in my upper abdomen which is a constant feeling. Is this normal to my recovery? Thank you

Other than heart surgery your diabetic and hypertensive status should also be considered. The episodes which you are talking about may be due to low sugars and sudden blood pressure changes. I suggest you get medication reviewed. Also an ecg to check post surgery if still ischemic symptoms are present.
