hi,

thank you for providing a brief history of you.

first of all as you said about muscle spasm below the breast, it appears to me as a muscle weakness. You need not get panic. Try doing regular deep breathing exercises while placing a hand over the incision area. also do costal breathing exercises by placing hand over the painful area. post cardiac surgery the need for learning and performing regular breathing exercises is very important to strengthen the respiratory muscles.

with the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery.
