Pain around sternum Area after Bypass Surgery
by supa1, Jun 23, 2009 08:23AM
I have had a beating heart bypass surgery 30 days back. Now just a few days back I have started getting a stinging pain around my heart area. Specially this pain occurs only after waking up from sleep of about 1 to 2 hours. It stays for about 5 minutes then reduces as I walk around for a while. It feels like a biting muscular pain, but dont know if it is from the heart or the sternum area or muscles around. Please advice.

It is probable the pain is due to the healing process of the sternum and not unexpected for about 3 months duration. Because it developed for a period subsequent to the CABG, it may have other implications. You may want to consult with your doctor for peace of mind.
