tightness in chest
by mitarita, Jul 22, 2008 10:10AM
My husband had bypass surgery done 9 months ago and also a valve repair. He also has a pacemaker and defillibulator. He has done very well after the surgery. He also quit smoking. Last week we went to a baseball game and it was very humid and hot in the evening and we walked several blocks to get to the park. My husband felt tightness in the chest and we stopped and took a break and then he was OK. Coming back was the same way. Once he got in the car he was OK. I need mention to you that he did have a vein grafted from his leg and also he has a toe amputated from his one foot. After that incident it never happened again and he feels fine. Could poor circulation in his leg attribute to what happened or what could this be.
