Congested Heart Failure

My husband had by pass surgery late October, 2008, he had several complication with fluid on his lungs but is now okay.  Approximately 2 months ago he started having tightness of the chest and felt that his heart was two large for his chest. It  is not sharp pain, just dull pain.  Is this normal?

Hi. I hope that you have spoke with your dr about this.If not, you should. It could be fairly serious. If there is fluid buildup in the sac surrounding the heart, it could be causing pressure on the heart and compromising it's pumping ability. With his CHF, this is a real possibilty. Please see your Dr. Wishing you well..
