Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have undergone bypass surgery eight months ago.now at present i am feeling pain in the upper portiom of diaphragm in the left side of the chest and breathing trouble too.i am feeling a pressure in that area always.what is the remedy and what should i do now.
Regarding your question, I would explain that it is important performing some tests to investigate for the possible causes underlying your complaints:
-a chest X ray study -a resting ECG and a cardiac ultrasound -cardiac enzymes -complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation.
A cardiac stress echo would help investigate for coronary artery disease.
A fibrogastroscopy may be needed to investigate for possible gastritis or gastro-esophageal reflux, especially if your symptoms are relived by PPI (omeprazole, esomeprazole, etc.).
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Wishing all the best,
Dr. Iliri
