Chest Inflammation
I'm on my 13th month post op "cabg". I have had chest pain the whole period. I have taken all the meds that you all have taken without any results. I'm having a CT scan done friday morning,will let you know the results next week. Take the chest pain away and I would feel great,it really gets intense late in the day. From what I can gather,post op chest pain is more prevalent in the over 50 age group,then with the younger "cabg" patch people. I know some men in their late 30's early 40's that have sailed thru this operation with barely any chest pain at all. Don't have any stats on women.Use of the mamannary vein seems to be the cause of most chest pain in the people I've met at rehab and other places. I wish all of you good health and speedy recoveries.....Mac
