What Causes Profuse Sweating After Undergoing A Bypass Surgery?
My husband has had a double bypass but got a good report from the cardiologist last month. For the first time, he had chest pain three days ago but it went away after 1 nitroglycerin (only the second time he's ever taken one, the first time was years ago.) He woke up this morning feeling fine but his bedsheets were soaked with sweat. Should he call his cardiologist?

Hi There
After reading the details of your husband i would like to tell you that a chest pain which gets relieved by taking NITRATES (Nitroglycerine) is highly suggestive of myocardial ischemia and above that he had profuse sweating also which again strengthen our diagnosis of ischemia.
So its advisable that you should consult your treating cardiologist for evaluation.
I wish you good health
