What Causes Breathlessness, Chest Tightness And Palpitations After Having CABG?
Hi I have had CABG nearly 3 months ago and recently my heart is beating so fast that it makes me cough, also when I walk or climb stairs I get breathless and my chest feels very tight,I have been to A and E and had all the usual tests which came back normal, so why do I still fee these symptoms
Slight rhythmic changes can happen after CABG. As all the cardiac work up is well within the normal range, nothing much to worry. Anxiety can cause pounding heart and avoid unnecessary stress.

What Causes Breathlessness, Chest Tightness And Palpitations After Having CABG?
Hello, Slight rhythmic changes can happen after CABG. As all the cardiac work up is well within the normal range, nothing much to worry. Anxiety can cause pounding heart and avoid unnecessary stress. I suggest you to get a thyroid function test(TFT) as hyperthyroidism can cause rapid heart rate. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain
