Hi welcome to hcm
I understand your query and concern.
I advise you to get an ECG,2 D Echo ,lipid profile,hs CRP immediately to rule out an Myocardial ischemia of heart.Since your are known case of heart surgery,pain shouldnt be neglected.Coronary angiogram will be helpful to look for any blocks in the heart.Meanwhile Anti platelet drugs,lipid lowering drugs,Anti hypertensives will be helpful.Also monitor your blood pressure,heart rate,blood sugars regularly.Avoid smoking,alcohol.Restrict your salt intake to less than 6 g per day.
Post your further queries if any,
Thank you.
