Problems afer Double By Pass

My mother had a double by pass two years ago, and has been experienced alot of pain and discomfort since.  (pain in  rib cage, pain in back, difficulty breathing, stomach bloating, shortness of breath, irritability and frustration)
Our concern is that she is only 66 years old and has always been a vibrant and outgoing woman.  She has not recovered as expected and we are very concerned.

Have you seen a cardiologist?  they may want to check the arteries to see if any of the bypass vessels have blocked or new blockages have formed. Some bypass vessels close up very soon after surgery so it's always worth getting them checked.
