I had cabgx3 in March 2010. Things have gone well but the last month or so I have had what feels like a brick in my chest. This I just put down to probably doing a little too much, but the last 2 days I have had stabbing pains in my chest on my right hand side. I called at the hospital and was given an ecg. It was ok and they sent me home with co-codamol. Nobody explained what might be causing this. I understand it was new years evening and the place was full, but I still have the pain.
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. No need to worry for heart diseases as your ecg is normal and your pain is on right side of chest. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely. So take medicine given to you. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid movements causing pain. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
