Hi,welcome to HCM.
Post C-section is generally associated with significant blood loss and iron deficiency.This kind of anemia can lead symptoms of hyperdynamic circulation due to reduced blood viscosity.This can lead to chest discomfort and pounding heart.These symptoms can be corrected with oral or parenteral iron supplementation.Baseline blood tests like Hb%,red cell indices and serum ferritin levels can help to follow up the progress.Consult your doctor for further queries.
thank you
